Staying at Linda and Don's house is a wonderful experience. It more than met our expectations, which were very high to begin with. The house is very warm and comfortable, nicer than the pictures. There are outdoor decks everywhere. We spent six weeks there and could've stayed much longer. Don and Linda are great hosts. They are as helpful as you want them to be, but invisible otherwise. The neighborhood is great and the location in downtown Palo Alto is perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything more, and will certainly be back.
