My girlfriend and I had a great stay at Alex's place. He was very friendly and welcoming and has a gorgeous home, with very easy access to Caltrain if you're getting around without a car (as we were). We were only in town for one night, to go to a nearby party, so we did little more here than sleep in the extremely comfortable bed and wash up the next morning in the enormous shower in the adjacent private bathroom, but if we hadn't been so busy, Alex made clear to us that we were also free to make use of his beautiful back yard. All around great airbnb experience, we'll definitely come back if we need a place to stay in Palo Alto again.
