The location is great for quick and easy access to downtown Palo Alto. The house is right off of Oregon parkway, so expect noise from the cars passing by, but it wasn't bad. I liked the house very much, but the housekeeping could be a little better as there were cobwebs in the skylights in both bedrooms and parts of the carpet and rug in the living room were heavily stained. The fridge also was dying as freezer items were not frozen and food stored was just slightly chilled at the coldest fridge setting. The host brought her husband to take a look at the fridge, but it was not fixed. The host also brought a realtor to do a walk-through of the entire interior and exterior of the residence, with picture taking, during my stay. If these things are not inconveniences to you, I think you will really enjoy your stay there. Aside from these complications, which do happen, I really liked the house.
