The location of Kate's place is superb -- in a quiet neighborhood, a short walk to Stanford's campus, to shops/restaurants on California Ave, or to the Caltrain station. The house is nicely arranged with comfortable beds, beautiful furniture and plenty of space for a couple or small family. Kate was quick to respond when we contacted her. The kitchen could use some misc. items to make it more functional (even just for re-heating leftovers and such); I've passed along a list of suggestions so hopefully that can be addressed easily. The Wifi was easy and reliable. Overall a great place to stay in Palo Alto.
