We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful and comfortable charming home. The location is great with easy access around palo alto and the bay area. The long private driveway made parking and loading/unloading very easy. The house was well stocked with all needed amenities and beds and floorplan were super comfortable for our family of four. The lovely outside spaces were an enjoyable bonus. We look forward to returning!

This is a very comfortable & well maintained house on a very walkable & charming street in old Palo Alto. It easily accommodated our family group (6 adults & 1 child). The kitchen, dining room & sitting areas (inside and out) were just right for us. There are shops and parks nearby and easy access to main roads for going longer distances.

Comfortable home in a lovely neighborhood with nice outdoor space. Bed was very comfortable. We thought there was a king, it was a queen in the master suite which was lovely. The antique stove was a bit intimidating for me, however, there’s a wall, oven and small microwave.

The house is amazing. Comfortable and easy to use as a home base but might have been even more amazing if we had spent more time in the house. Lots of beautiful seating areas inside and out. Antique stove was both beautiful and functional. Close to California Ave restaurants. Easy parking and quick access to area freeways. Nicest place we have stayed yet.

Roomy and Airy

This very roomy and airy home is comfortable, nicely decorated, and situated in a lovely and quiet Palo Alto neighborhood. It is ideal for up to six adults or a family. There are several well-landscaped private outdoor areas for relaxing and eating. The photos of the property are accurate and the kitchen is perfect for preparing meals and eating in the nicely appointed dining room.

Pretty Palo Alto

Angela has been wonderful with helping us get checked in a tad earlier due to a surgery I had the day before…Also, was not insistent on the 10a.m departure but gave us a little extra time again due to my surgery and time needed to gather…The gardens here are incredible. I would go back just to sit in this yard…Beautiful location…a stroll down these streets is just what the doctor ordered….you should immediately decide on Angelas home over others…

Beautiful, well equipped home. Great location.

We were a group of friends returning to Palo Alto for our Stanford class reunion. Angela’s home is lovely and well equipped. We had a full schedule of activities so never cooked a meal at the house, but it would have been perfect for meals at the house, with lovely outdoor seating areas. Instead, it was an easy walk to California Ave for bagels, coffeee, etc and easy to get to the Stanford campus. We would love to return if it’s available for our next one.

Could not have been more pleases

I have stayed at several rental properties. This one exceeded all of them. It is a beautiful well stocked house. The living space was spacious, bathrooms updated as well as the kitchen. The location is perfect for anyone wanting access to downtown Palo Alto, Stanford, and/or Los Altos. We will definitely try to get this house for next Christmas holiday season.

As advertised!

Beautiful space! Property matched property photos. Small insects like ants, silverfish, spiders in the house. Would have been nice if exterior patio furniture could have been cleaned/maintained. Lots of dust, debris, stains, and cobwebs.

Thanks for the feedback. A service is employed to spray for insects on a regular basis and the gardening service cleans the patio areas but unfortunately it is impossible to keep the furniture completely free of debris as the gazebo is under a redwood tree and the furniture cushions are all white.

A lovely oasis

We lived in Palo Alto decades ago and this stay brought back such fond memories of a quiet town that still has a lot of the flavor of its past as well as new, more upscale Silicon Valley vibe on California Avenue. The house is tastefully decorated, with organic neutral earth colors that are restful and serene. All bathrooms are updated and the kitchen could be a showroom for an appliance store, with a beautiful Wedgewood-paneled oven that we found intimidating but loved its visual elegance! Will definitely stay here again. Also, the host--Angela Pryor--is so responsive and cheerful with answering our questions about the television streaming. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Amazing stay in great location

We stayed here for a week in July while our kids attended Stanford soccer camp. The home was perfect for us--has a great layout and perfect master suite upstairs. The home had everything we needed, and Angela was very responsive when we had questions. The home was charming and in a wonderful location in Old Town Palo Alto. We are already planning to return next summer!

Spectacular

I don’t want to leave such a positive review because I selfishly want the property to be available to me for future trips. I suppose I’ll just have to plan months in advance because I’m sure other visitors will book this perfect home when they are in the area. If you have the opportunity, don’t pass this one up!
