David's place is a welcome sanctuary in a charming neighborhood in Palo Alto. The house is spacious and very comfortable. It is balanced beautifully by the back garden which is populated by a wonderful ring of trees (especially the three tall redwoods) which add to the sense of lushness, and give plenty of shade. The hammock in the garden cannot be avoided. Location wise, the house couldn't be more convenient. There are plenty of shops and restaurants out on El Camino, and access to campus and downtown is five or ten minutes easy drive. This is a lovely place to do the simple things like read, relax, and eat al fresco. Highly recommended.
