Very well designed and esthetically pleasing studio behind a house in a pleasant and quiet residential neighborhood. The studio and kitchen were well appointed and very comfortable. Additional towels were provided and any missing item was promptly provided by the host. After some problems, fixed immediately by the owner himself, the internet worked very well, even for zoom. Good heating system, much appreciated during a cold spell. The location is ideal for those without a car; a full supermarket, several drugstores, restaurants, coffeeshop are less than a 10 minutes (pleasant) walk, which also leads to the stop of a bus (line 21) that takes you in about 20 min. to downtown Palo Alto, the Transit Center where you can connect to San Jose-San Fransisco Caltrain (it is a stop on the express trains as well) and the free Stanford shuttle buses, Stanford Shopping Center, a large open air mall with upscale shopping, and ends a short walk from Stanford childeren's hospital and main hospital.
