"Great location to visit family at Stanford. I used the place to sleep and eat breakfast. Owner responded quickly with answers to my questions. Very friendly:)"

"Very nice house. Only complaint is that just one thermostat for the AC. Would be better if each bedroom had its own. "

"This unit was very quiet despite it's closeness to the downtown area and the university. Very easy to walk to get coffee or food. The street parking is fine. There was some confusion with the listing, part of it said we could add a guest for one night for 25 but when we asked the property manager they said no. Lesson learned to select a different vrbo which will allow 3 guests. Overall a very nice unit while visiting Stanford for Family Weekend."

"The house is okay but a fixer upper. There were a lot of places where you could see repairs were made, dyi projects, or missing pictures-artwork. Paint was not touched up or peeling in a lot of places as well. The beds and couch were also not comfortable and caused back issues. The neighborhood was safe and quiet but we never felt very comfortable. The host was very nice, helpful and quick to respond if we needed anything.Important note: East Palo Alto and Palo Alto are NOT the same thing. "

"This is a great property if you have a dog with its private yard and grass area. It’s also VERY close to downtown. Negatives…dead ants, tree sheds sticky leaves that stick to everything. I would rent again!"

"Property is located on a very nice, quiet, and safe residential street, but is very close (5 minute walk) to a nice selection of casual restaurants, coffee shops, and food markets. My daughter and I found it to be a wonderful choice for visits to Stanford and the Palo Alto area. The property is very clean and well outfitted for a visit for several people who need to work while they visit the Stanford / Palo Alto area. "

"Family wedding. Great spot to enjoy time together as family during the week of wedding events. Thanks!"

"The home was perfect for our needs during our stay in Palo Alto. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had an ample supply of dishware, pots / pans, and basic condiments. The dining area was spacious -- good for meals and family game time. The upstairs living room made for a cozy gathering space and TV time."
