Lucia's home is a meticulously maintained and landscaped spot in a very quiet neighborhood, walking distance from coffee shops, bistros and the Caltrain which makes a San Francisco excursion a piece of cake. It is also a stone's throw from Stanford University, and all of the cultural amenities it offers. In Palo Alto, cars defer to pedestrians and bicyclists. Bike paths are everywhere, of which we took great advantage, and didn't need to rent a car. Lucia is a friendly and charming host. Her rental space is attached to her home, offering ample privacy. She was responsive to all our needs. Would rent again!
