We had a comfortable extended stay while my daughter was undergoing treatment at Stanford Children's Hospital. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. And we would absolutely stay again if the need arises.
This was a great house to stay at. Located on a quiet street, but has very easy access to main roads and downtown. If you are there during the holidays, it is a short walk to Palo Alto's iconic "Christmas Tree Lane." Sherry was an excellent host and extremely responsive. The kitchen was well-equipped, the TVs worked fine, and the beds were comfy. I'd definitely consider staying there the next time I'm in Palo Alto!
My wife and I needed a clean, comfortable home to stay in for over two weeks post brain surgery at Stanford. Sherry's home is clean, welcoming, quiet and in an upscale safe neighborhood. Very close to Stanford and we especially enjoyed the various foods on Calif st, sitting outside and just enjoying our time there.
Sherry provided everything you could think of in the kitchen and made us feel so very welcomed.

About the host
Hosted by Sherry
A husband and wife that have lovingly lived in the home for 18 years. The home looks like it fits right into the charming neighborhood. Its an English style similar to many older homes in the area yet it is newer construction and we were only the second owners. THe home is just 22 years old. We are fairly near by and have a housekeeper that will come if needed ofter if requested for a fee and a fabulous gardener that maintains the home. If anything is needed we can have it delivered to you. Doordash offers lots of options near by. We know you will love the home :-)) The home is entered through the driveway gate ( you will receive a remote for entrance during your stay)
