This is my second stay with Maureen, so that tells everything anyone needs to know about her providing a topnotch experience……. because if I was not totally satisfied I would have not re-booked. Her home is roomy (It would be perfect for families.), convenient to restaurants and other University Ave and California Street attractions, provides easy access to the 101; but is quiet and sufficiently insulated from major roadways to insure a good night's sleep. Maureen is knowledgeable and willing to share about Palo Alto and made her home our home away from home. Her communication via phone and text was helpful to coordinate arrival and departure details. Finally when our dates altered a bit enabling an additional day's stay she helped us to locate an alternative site as hers was taken. That step was above and beyond! We'll be back….especially now that our daughter has just re-located to Palo Alto!
