Kathy was a great host, and made my stay very easy. I even forgot something at her place and she was very helpful in getting it back to me. The best parts of this apartment are the location and price -- hard to beat either in Palo Alto! The place itself is a little rough around the edges, and could use some sprucing up. At one point during the stay, work was being done on the pipes and brown water came out of the facets. Kathy did replace the bed when I was there, so there's a nice mattress on it now.
