Very nice private room + bath (spotlessly clean) in a private apartment in Southern Palo Alto. Elena, who owns and lives in the apartment, is very pleasant and accommodating; the kitchen and utensils are available for eating and for working (no computer table in the room). Note that at the time of my stay there were only two dresser drawers available for clothes and no closet space, that was OK for me but you might want to ask Elena about other possible clothes storage space. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will stay there again in future visits.
