"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...

"Good things: The apartment was great, very clean and stocked with everything you could need. The outdoor space was a lovely bonus, we used it regularly. The area is really nice and quiet as well, set back from the road so you don't have any traffic noise. And it's located really close to some great restaurants and nightlife. Most of the communication with the hosts was excellent and timely. Less-good things: the apartment is set in a funny nook between 2 garages, and the instructions for where...

"There were many ants in this property. It made keeping anything in the kitchen difficult. The property was clean and well maintained but the lack of dishwasher and laundry was difficult. Since we only used this property for sleeping it didn’t present a problem but a long term stay might present problems."

"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! "

"This charming home is located in a wonderful quiet neighborhood. We felt very safe and secure. We easily traveled from the house to Stanford via Lyft daily. There is a great grocery store that serves delicious Middle Eastern food and restaurants within walking distance. There is also a lovely library that is close by. There was plenty of space for our family of four. We were quite comfortable. Figuring out how to run hot water from the bathroom sink took some time and the low pressure took...

"This bottom floor apartment was situated in a great neighborhood that is currently being re-gentrified. The apartment is an older building and had someone staying above us that was up all hours of the night. You can hear them walking around and my 89-year old mother wasn't comfortable being woken up. The communication was excellent by the Property Manager. Overall, this place is situated in perfect part of Palo Alto because my daughter works for a business one block away. "
