Maureen's place, a roomy basement in charming Palo Alto, was perfect for us. I was visiting Stanford with my son and the location is only a mile away. It's also within walking distance of the shops and restaurants in the main area of Palo Alto. The street and the house are charming. Maureen is super welcoming and even made us cookies. The main bed is very comfortable. My son slept in the main living area and found it comfortable as well. There is a private entrance for the basement so it's easy to come and go in this quiet, charming neighborhood. It was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
