This accommodation is a self-contained, ground-level apartment that is part of a large home in a tranquil, well-maintained Palo Alto neighborhood. It was just the right distance by car (5-10 minutes) from El Camino Real, downtown Palo Alto, and stores on Middlefield Road. Cleanliness, space, and furnishings were all above average. Check-in and check-out processes were self-service via a lock-box on the door. I recommend this accommodation for a peaceful short-term stay. I was comfortable there for a month.
