This place is VERY conveniently located in Palo Alto, in a nice neighborhood. The Host is great too.
It does have good and bad points. The price tag is not that bad compared to prices in the area, but be aware it does not reflect the accommodation itself which cannot be called comfortable or practical.
Bottom line here (more detailed pros and cons below if you want): All in all, if you want a pit stop to sleep in that is near downtown/Stanford and plan to eat out for most of your meals, this is definitely a good choice, but if you want a comfortable place, it is harder to recommend at that price point.
Pros: Very well-located in Professorville which is a beautiful neighborhood, walkable and bikeable, not very far from downtown or Stanford. Safe neighborhood. Host is nice quick to respond - overall great communication. The tiny house is quite cute with a wooden fence around it.
Cons : Major con is that it is overpriced for the quality of the accommodation itself, which is closer to an ill-equipped rustic shack than a cozy cottage. It's basically a converted shed/garage/poolhouse in the backyard with its own access from Lincoln street. Tiny and cramped space/layout that is hard to move around in, so not comfortable if you need to spend time inside. If you want to eat out for every meal, downtown is close but if you plan to cook/eat there.... It has no kitchen table or chairs and a barely functional kitchen. Wi-Fi is quite bad. The showerhead needs to be changed (4-5 small criss-cross jets...).
