It was the best stay I ever had in Palo Alto. Rachel's place was very close to the center Palo Alto, an easy access to Stanford campus on foot and on shuttle, quiet and beautiful neighborhood, easy access to a shopping mall where we can do grocery shopping and eat out. I loved the blue room where I stayed which was simple but spacious and nicely color coordinated in blue with a nice view of the neighborhood from its window. The closet in the room was spacious and there was a good size refrigerator in the room. What I particularly liked was the common area of the house, the reception area, beautiful and spacious sitting areas and modern and clean kitchen. The backyard has nice hammock and bench chairs and it would be great to do reading and sunbathing on sunny days. Rachel has been such a kind and responsive host and I would definitely like to stay at her place again for my next visit.
