A colleague and I stayed here during a business trip and it served us well. Kathy’s place is conveniently located just a few blocks from downtown Palo Alto with lots of food options. The apartment was very spacious, felt safe, and basic necessities were met. Overall, I would stay here again but there are few things that warranted a less than 5 star rating: There is a bees nest by the front door that needs addressed, and there was room for improvement in communication - I was given incorrect check in instructions after having to call a few times after the normal check in time. The place is cleaned but slightly run down, and I noticed the comforter on my bed had hair from a previous stay.
