I had the pleasure of being Tara's first Airbnb guest in her Palo Alto apartment.
Tara is the perfect host!
Thoughtful: eg. whenever going grocery shopping she asked if I needed something.
Caring: eg. she cooked a lovely Persian dinner for me
Considerate: eg. she is mindful of sharing her space with you to make you feel at home.
The apartment is nice, clean, and looks exactly like the pictures. The apartment even has a lovely shaded balcony which was not shown in the pictures when I booked.
The kitchen is well equipped. The airfryer is really handy when cooking for just one person.
The community pool is heated which is nice because of the cold Palo Alto nights. The pool area was not busy at all; during my one-week stay, I saw one other resident using the pool.
The ONLY downside was that the pin on the map on Airbnb was placed at the wrong location. The pin indicated that the apartment was located much closer to the Stanford Campus than it actually was - I attribute this to the fact that I was the first guest, and as soon as I mentioned it to Tara she contacted Airbnb. The error may have already been fixed.
I truly recommend Tara and her apartment if you ever need to find somewhere to stay in Palo Alto.
