Alex’s apartment was in an ideal location, just a few blocks from the restaurants and shops of university ave. The apartment has all the essentials and there are three parking spaces at the back, which we only used once when we were checking out. There is plenty of street parking. There is a Whole Foods Market about a half mile from the apt for groceries and a Safeway not that far too. I would highly recommend Alex’s place when visiting Stanford Campus and Downtown Palo Alto.
