Chao's place is amazing for students or professionals who are on a trip to Palo Alto and are looking for a nice luxurious hotel suite type of place. The place is near Stanford and is easily accessible to good restaurants around. There is also a parking space right in front of the house and the California Ave Caltrain station is about a 20 - 25 min walk. Chao is also very helpful and responds quickly to the messages and is a wonderful host.
