I stayed 69 nights at Chris's during the time of an internship. Chris is a very nice host and shared his whole home with me. He made everything to make me feel at home and my stay a good experience. He gave me information on the city and the sights around Santa Clara. I also had the chance to meet Chris friends which were also very nice. Everythig is at it is described on aribnb and the pool is very nice. It is about a 30-60 minute drive to Palo alto but the caltrain station is nearby which has one stop in Palo alto. So it was no problem at all to get to work for me.
All in all it was a very nice stay and chris a very nice host. I would stay again and can recommend him.
