Minutes to Techs & Stanford Uni! Cozy 2BR House
7.8 out of 10, Good, 49 reviews
"The house was adequate however, the kitchen was dirty and ant infested. We sprayed and cleaned the kitchen and no more ants during our stay. Lots of construction near the house which was noisy and it was annoying trying to find our way around with a couple of closed roads. The exterior of the house is unkept, front and back yards were not mowed with grass and weeds 3 feet tall. Advertised pictures were much better than actual house and yard."

"The property could not be opened when I arrived. I was asked to break in using a side entrance. When I entered the property, it was clear that this was far from the "luxury" property that it was described as at the time of the booking. The furniture is old, the bedding damp, and the overall sense is far from luxury. I left after 5 minutes and when I asked for even a partial refund, this was denied. VRBO said they had no responsibility. Never book with VRBO - they won't help you like other...

"We had a great 5 day stay here! Everything was clean, comfortable, updated and practical! The host was very attentive and super kind! The kitchen is fully stocked to make meals and is spacious. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean and lovely. There was a lot of closet space for suitcases, hangars for dresses, suits, more formal wear etc. I am a woman who was traveling with two tweens and felt completely safe and the neighborhood is very quiet. For elderly travelers, the driveway and front...

"Nice overall location along a scenic creek. Not sure why there is a (nominal) resort fee. I did see a pool and heard there was a gym but it’s not really a resort. I had expected more re: breakfast. It’s light pastries and breakfast bars and juice that you can eat in the small lobby or at outdoor tables. I was solo for most of the stay - in town for a conference - and my family joined at the end. It was fine for both purposes. If you want to feel more removed from civilization, try to get first...
