I stayed with Maria with almost 6 weeks and I had an amazing time. The location of the house is perfect and as a female travelling on my own for work, it was important for me that the area was very safe. The room/bathroom is even nicer than it looks in the photos and the house is immaculate. Maria was lovely and so welcoming from the moment I arrived, and always instantly attentive/easy to reach if I needed anything. If i was travelling to the Palo Alto area again I would only stay at Maria's home!
