The room is fantastic (beautifully decorated, comfortable, bright). It's really more of a small studio since it has a kitchen area, private bathroom, and seating area. The location is unbeatable; you are just a few blocks away from University Avenue (where all the restaurants and shops are located) but it's still not too hard to find parking. The owner is very responsive. I live in Palo Alto and can tell you that the price is very reasonable for the area. It was more private than I expected since it's separate from the main house and other units--which was a plus. There is a cute bistro table in front of the unit. It's a little too cold to use right now but must be very nice in the spring/summer!
