Anne and her family are such wonderful people. They, along with their lovable dog Lily, will make you feel right at home. The room itself is terrific, with attention paid to the little things that bring comfort when you’re away. As crazy as it sounds, the bathroom is amazing with what I have to assume is a $10,000 bidet/toilet with a heated seat. The kitchen has everything you need to make a wonderful meal and cap it off with a nice espresso. And the backyard is a delightful sanctuary with comfortable seating, cafe lights, plenty of well-maintained plants and trees, and even some companion chickens if you want to make a new friend. Overall, my only hesitation in writing this review is that it might inspire others to reserve what I now consider to be my room. For now, I’m just looking forward to the next time my business brings me back to Palo Alto. I can’t wait to see Anne, Lily, and the rest of the family when I head back out to the Bay.
