Perfect location for our family's visit to Palo Alto. We walked with kids to the Starbucks and bagel shop a couple blocks down the street. It was a short drive to other restaurants and Trader Joe's. It was also a short walk or drive to visit with friends who live in the neighborhood. We enjoyed our time in the house. The shower was great, and we appreciated having access to a washer and dryer. I recall that there were previous reviews that noted the road noise, but it was never an issue for us.
