This home was darling. It was in a great neighborhood and the accommodations were just what we were looking for. We enjoyed the outdoor space as well. We would definitely stay here again. The hosts were so easy to work with and quick to respond with any questions.

We stayed here while in the Palo Alto area for a family wedding - it was a wonderful home base for a very busy and memorable week.We were relatively new to VRBO and contacted the owners a few times early on. Each time they were responsive, informative and genuinely caring. That continued after we left: I realized I had left behind my fitness tracker band, and they took the time to locate it and put it in the mail to me. That kind of thoughtfulness says a lot about the hosts.The home is beautiful, comfortable and inviting, inside and out. It was exceptionally clean, well-appointed and stocked with everything we needed. Bedrooms have convenient access to power for your devices, and there are several good spots to open a laptop if needed.The neighborhood is incredibly peaceful and quiet, with welcoming streets for walking, running or biking. The front and back outdoor spaces are surrounded by beautiful plants and trees, with frequent hummingbird sightings.Downtown Palo Alto is walkable for restaurants, shopping or coffee, while the highway is nearby and convenient for trips to San Francisco or San Jose, yet you can't hear it from the house.Beautiful home, peaceful setting, excellent location and thoughtful hosts. We would happily stay here again.

The place is great - wonderful location, spotless, comfortable beds and well stocked with essentials including a basket of toiletries, in case you forgot something. The space is flexible with indoor and outdoor gathering spots as well as desks if you need to do a little work. We were easily able to prepare Thanksgiving dinner in the generous kitchen. The workout space is a fantastic extra! Easy walk to downtown Palo Alto, close to grocery stores, Caltrain and Stanford. The hosts are welcoming and helpful. We hope to return!

We booked to stay for a little over a month when we first moved here from Ireland and it was absolutely perfect for us and our 2 small kids. Stunning property, beautifully styled and fully equipped with everything you could need. Alex and Saba have thought of every little detail and we had the most amazing stay. They are extremely responsive and helpful and very welcoming. The neighbourhood is perfect especially for young families. It’s a very quiet street and the neighbours are really welcoming and friendly. There is a really good park just a 5 minute walk away and a few shops and restaurants. Downtown Menlo park and downtown Palo Alto are both within walking distance. Couldn’t recommend enough
