This was a perfect stay. The location is unbeatable, even fascinating - right in the heart of downtown Palo Alto. Surrounding it are blocks and blocks of historic homes under lush tree canopy, making for many hours of excellent walking. And it's quiet - despite the proximity to University Avenue, this location has no traffic noise - just birdsongs and the occasional train whistle, noticeable but not loud. And there is no noise from other tenants - the walls must be very well-insulated. The room has everything you need: refrigerator, microwave, cooktop, dishes, pots and pans, shower, table and chairs, hair dryer, coffee maker. There are many delightful touches outdoors as well - the front tropical garden, patio tables with umbrellas, bike parking, and car parking. Alexander was reachable and helpful for anything needed. When my four-day stay was over, I didn't want to leave. I'd be back any time!
