Quiet, tons of light, and in a fabulous location, I really enjoyed my 2+week stay. I can imagine that if I were to live in Palo Alto, I'd want to live in this neighborhood. I could walk my dogs easily to get coffee—through a park, without a ton of traffic. I slept so well in the great bed and felt really comfortable in the space. The kitchen is well stocked with most everything you'd need to cook (which I did) though certainly they are within walking distance to great food options (including a very close and convenient Whole Foods). Great place to stay!
