This is our (me+spouse) second stay here, and both have been great. In particular, both times it has happened that nobody else was staying in the house -- there is one other room for rent -- so we ended up getting to stay by ourselves in a very nice spacious house for the price of a rented room! Everything is comfortable and the kitchen is very functional. There is even a (common) room that makes a good office. It is on a nice quiet dead-end street in a nice part of Palo Alto, with a bunch of shops (e.g. Safeway) and restaurants (though not the best Palo Alto has to offer...) a few steps away. Downtown is a couple miles (pleasant walk through neighborhoods or trivial drive) away. Overall we were super happy with this place and would absolutely stay here again.
