Fantastic home. Great hosts. Convenient location. If you are looking for a comfortable and cozy home in the heart of Palo Alto with easy access to Stanford, malls, Menlo park and sand hill road. This is a great home. We have a family with 3 kids from 3-10years. The garden was great for the kids to play have meals, Netflix upstairs and downstairs, a very well stocked kitchen with all the conveniences for cooking family meals. A piano my daughter used to keep up with her practice. An office space, great wifi. Lots of towels, linens, family oriented laundry room. Super convenient for families or a longer term stay.
Do be mindful that the carpets are white in the living room and upper floor and deserve some respect. So do remember to take off shoes.
Virginia and Noel were quick to respond to any questions via text/email. You hardly notice their presence in the cottage in the back. You still feel very private. It was nice and reassuring to have the hosts near by.
You can't beat the location, near lots of children's playgrounds and the children's zoo, Stanford shopping centre, town and country mall will lots of restaurants and convenient stores, whole foods and trader joes. Our kids attended a camp and we had some business meetings. We were never far from anything. Parking was easy. Uber was quick. Walking and evening runs super safe and easy.
