This was my first time in Palo Alto, and staying at Kirsten's made it feel familiar and cozy from the beginning, despite the heavy rain on the day I arrived. The room is nice and comfortable, with a pleasant surprise of a super cute 'secret' reading space: a small, raised divan situated in a kind of niche opposite the window. The bathroom looks brand new and is very clean. I spent most of my time outside of the house, but I had a very pleasant sleep on both nights, the bed was comfortable. Kirsten and Frank were very kind and seemed fun to talk to and learn more about, for which there was not much time. I was really grateful for the possibility to use the bike, which gave me more freedom of movement, although the 22 bus is just around the corner and is very convenient. All in all, a pleasant experience!
