Guesthouse with firepit near Stanford FB GOOG

6.0 out of 10, (2)
"The guesthouse is exactly as described. Clean, quiet, well-appointed, and non-fussy. The bed was comfortable, which is really all that mattered (to me). The shower was actually nice with body wash provided. While there is no sink (face basin), it is not that big a deal and, for me, wasn't be a deal breaker. I would absolutely stay there again. Thank you so much! You provided a perfect solution for a quick stay."

Nice one bedroom apartment for short getaways or temporary housing w/ fast WiFi

I'm not a fan of heights so I wouldn't choose this place again just for the reason that it's on the 2nd floor and the landing was small. Great use of space and the kitchen looked very nicely equipped. My 2 night stay turned into a15 hour stay due to travel changes but I would definitely recommend. of docs"

The nearest bus stop was a 15-minute walk away, followed by a 30-minute ride to the closest Caltrain station into town.One major issue we encountered was a dog barking behind Unit 3. It became especially disruptive over the last three nights & days barking every two minutes, which was incredibly frustrating.The owners were responsive and efficient. When we requested extra towels for our 12-day stay, they provided...

Luxury home, close to Stanford, Palo Alto, I-101

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (51)
"The home is very spacious and has everything you’d need, to include the little basics for cooking, bath, morning coffee, etc. it’s an open design with lots of room and numerous nooks for reading or relaxing. Great deck in the back yard, and beautiful roses and fruit trees out front. The neighborhood is less tony than Palo Alto proper, but the immediate cul de sac is nice and the location is really convenient to everything in the area. Perfect for what we needed, with plush beds for all! "
