Noah is an outstanding host and his place is extremely comfortable and welcoming! If you're in Palo Alto for the first time by yourself or if you're visiting Stanford University or Silicon Valley, I highly recommend staying here! The room was very spacious, clean and the decor was very welcoming! The amenities in the room were amazing - large comfortable bed, spacious work desk, superb clean shower and bathroom facilities with body jets and complimentary shampoo and shower gel, microwave, coffee machine and a cosy little patio just outside the house :) Noah definitely responds very quickly in case you have any questions or if you need anything - he went out of his way to welcome my cousin who was coming to visit me during my stay with additional towels and blankets :) He gives you the privacy that you need and let's you come and go as you please - check-in and check-out were very simple. In terms of location, it's in a beautiful quiet neighbourhood with friendly people and Safeway, Walgreen's, Subway and Philz Coffee are all within walking distance. By bike it is about 15 - 20 minutes to Stanford Campus. Overall a wonderful stay and highly recommend staying here!
