I stayed at Maria's home in Palo Alto for two months during my summer internship in the area. From the moment I reached out about the listing to the very last day when Maria very kindly drove me to the airport for my flight home, my experience staying at her place was absolutely fantastic.

Maria is a lovely person and very welcoming, as well as extremely knowledgeable about Palo Alto and all it has to offer. I very much appreciated Maria's thoughtful sense of hospitality: sometimes I would get home in the evenings and we would have a great conversation over drinks, and other times I was comfortable spending time on my own at the house. Whatever my mood was on a given day, I always felt like a welcomed guest in Maria's home.

Her house is gorgeous, way better even than the pictures, and she maintains it very well. Her dog Moe and cat Buttons were a joy to come home to every day and super friendly. Her kitchen is awesome and great for someone like me who wants to cook most meals at home.

I cannot recommend Maria's place enough! Staying with Maria made my summer so much easier and enjoyable than it otherwise would have been had I stayed elsewhere. Thank you so much!
