I stayed and worked out of this cottage for 8 nights. It's a cute, cozy, warm place that is walking distance to Peet's in Town & Country and to plenty eating locations in downtown Palo Alto. I did wish it had a little more light, but other than that, it was a really comfortable place. The cottage itself is self-sufficient. It has a small desk where you can work. The wifi connection was great - it would drop very very occasionally, but I was able to get my work done. A big plus for this cottage was that it had a mini-kitchen where one can cook simple meals. It is stocked with basic pots and pans and silverware. The smoke alarm does go off too easily while cooking so it's important to open the window above the stove to allow the cooking smoke to escape through the roof. The bathroom was stocked with lots of clean towels and basic toiletries. It was a very pleasant stay. Would recommend it to anyone who needs to be in Palo Alto area.
