This is a great location for visiting Palo Alto or most anywhere in the valley from San Francisco to San Jose. We walked to the Safeway on Middlefield and to the Park. There are great restaurants in Palo Alto (La Boheme is our favorite). James's place is well equipped and comfortable. The washer/dryer in back was very convenient as we stayed for 10 days. It is a quiet place in a quiet neighborhood. We look forward to returning.
