For my first experience of an Airbnb, this was brilliant. The best thing of all was the obvious care and forethought that the hostess had put into the lodgings for guests. Even though I did not have the pleasure of meeting the host and hostess, their warm generosity and hospitality was evident in many of the small touches applied for guests. For example, all bedlinen was provided, guests could make use of shared items; there were also extra toiletries provided in case you'd forgotten to bring something along. If I ever travel to Palo Alto again, this would be my first choice.
