This is a lovely, privileged spot in the large hillside house of a lovely family. The flat is compact and very comfortable and private, with every convenience you could wish for. The location is a tranquil, beautiful respite from the hustle and pushiness of Palo Alto and San Francisco. Bear in mind that you're miles away from any commercial space, so you need to shop in advance for anything you may need, but thanks to Lyft, you can get to civilisation in a matter of just 15 minutes. I worked all day on Stanford campus and used the flat as an end-of-day retreat. I woke up in the morning to a marvelous view of trees and hills and, on a couple of occasions, a small herd of deer. Vara is a sweet and graceful lady who will respond immediately to any request you might have. She is truly friendly and accommodating. I recommend this place without hesitation. Ideal for a single person, two people max... I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
