The place is very close to downtown Palo Alto (walking distance) and is close enough to Stanford. I usually walked to campus everyday which was about a 30-40 minute walk though downtown Palo Alto. The walls are also a bit thin so it can be noisy. The only serious complaint is the door to the airbnb does not shut easily. I felt like I was slamming it shut in order for it to close and use the locks. Besides those points, the place was very clean and bathroom was clean also. I did not use any of the kitchen appliances as I just eat in palo every night so no comment there. In short, I would stay at this place again.
