This is hands down the best airbnb I've ever stayed at. Steven is an amazing host and it shows in how perfectly set up his place is and how many nice touches there were. Steven answered all our questions quickly and made sure to check in and that we had everything we needed throughout our stay.
The home is quiet and peaceful with comfy beds in both bedrooms. The main bedroom has a huge couch and a big desk that's easy to work out of and both bedrooms have large dressers and wardrobes.
The living room is huge, with the comfiest couch I've ever seen, in front of a huge screen with a video-projector hooked to everything you need to watch Netflix and such. I can tell you it was hard to convince ourselves to get out of it and go visit the city instead.
On top of this, it has many board games, a foosball table and everything you need to hang around with friends.
Finally, the kitchen was really easy to use and eat out of for the whole week we stayed. While there's no stove or oven, everything else and more is available. There are 2 big fridges, plates and cutlery and everything you need to eat in but on top of that Steven has a lot of things available (rice cooker, instant pot, blender, device to cook bacon which was soooo yummy, and then more). Steven also offers dishes services making it really to eat in without having to do the dishes yourself.
Outside of the house, the garden is lovely and quiet, right next to a beautiful hot-tub we were able to enjoy every evening of our trips. Steven also has 4 bikes available for guests making it easy to sightsee around his place.
If this wasn't enough, the house is in such a nice part of Palo Alto. It's right next to Stanford, in a really quiet street that is clearly only for people living around. It's also close to many shops, having a Trader's Joe and a CVS surrounded by many delicious restaurants on one side and a pedestrian streets with many more restaurants, a farmer's market on Sundays and 2 grocery stores on the other.
This trip was even better than we expected and every day felt like a vacation. If you're looking for a place in Palo Alto, or a place to escape from the city, don't think twice and book Steven's place.
