Great place and location, close to Stanford University and downtown! The place is as shown in the pictures, just a bit hot in the room (Sky room). If you are planning to stay for quite some time, Carina has great deals to rent a bike. Regarding the breakfast, it was a bit poor in my opinion that I stayed for a month (industrial baking and tea/coffee). Overall I had a good experience in Palo Alto, and Carina is a good host.
