Shames' place was AMAZING! The neighborhood was very nice, the house was gorgeous and the garden surrounding the guest house was magical. Shames was very flexible with the check-in and her communication was excellent. The space was very clean, comfortable and accommodating. Shames even left some tea/snacks/beverage options which was a nice surprise. There was a table for dining...a desk for working and a TV with just about any channel. There are stores/coffee/restaurants within walking distance and downtown Palo Alto is a very short drive. For my next trip to this area I will look to Shames first! ☆☆☆☆☆
