My boyfriend and I stayed at this place for three months during our internships at Google and DPR. Our commutes to Santa Clara weren't too bad. We enjoyed being near downtown Palo Alto, but this place was really small and expensive. Because we were moving cross-country, we had to rely on the pictures alone to tell us about the listing. The pictures shown here are pretty confusing and don't really tell you much about the layout of the place. I've uploaded some pictures we took after we moved out here: https://imgur.com/a/NTrDuIQ
We mostly wanted this place because it had a full kitchen. The laundry is shared with two other rooms that are accessible down a hallway through the door shown past the kitchen. The thermostat is also in that hallway. The stove is a gas stove and it really heats up the room while it's on.
The host Kathy was really responsive and would always answer our calls or call us back immediately. She gave us a fan, trash bags, toilet paper, and paper towels when we needed them.
