I am afraid this is by far the worst place I have ever rented with airbnb and in any other circumstance I would have tried to move out of it immediately. As I was too busy at a local conference I could not afford this move. This is an old apartment that has not been properly maintained and there are stains and scratches everywhere. The kitchen is particularly dirty, with pots and pans we did not dare using. The bedroom was comfy and relatively clean, except for the stains on the lamp shades and pillows. The bathroom looked clean until we found plenty of hair stuck to the walls and a mushroom growing in the sink... There was no material available for cleaning the place, not even a sponge, and we had to buy sponges and cleaning products, not that it helped with most of the items. The only positive points of the apartment are that it is conveniently located in Palo Alto, within walking distance to Stanford and the Caltrain station, and that it provides a private patio and a semi-open garage for one car, which is appreciable. Given the nearby airbnb places rented by my colleagues at similar rates, I nonetheless remain deeply unhappy at having rented this substandard place and would not suggest anyone to rent it in its current state.
