I spent just over 3 months living at Noel's place. Noel is a super host who goes out of his way to make guests feel comfortable in his house. His apartment is ideally situated near the California Ave Caltrain station, and there is a farmers market nearby every Sunday. During my stay, Noel and I hung out a fair bit. We frequently ate dinner together (Noel is a great cook), and we also went on a few excursions as well. I really felt at home in Palo Alto, and feel lucky to have found such great accommodations. Highly recommended!
