We decided to have our Christmas family gathering in the Palo Alto area as we were coming in from all corners of the world on different schedules. We needed plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and a great dining area. I am also extremely particular about pet/dust-free due to bad allergies. Bob did more than promised on amenities, thoughtful food stocks and touches of Christmas cheer. Kitchen was completely functional and well equipped. Being completely pet/dust free meant I was free of allergies. It became "Our Home" immediately and we were able to get into a routine, and delighted exploring the wonderful neighborhoods of Palo Alto/Menlo Park, with San Francisco within reach, and then coming back to our very cozy "Home".
