Room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Quiet stay; no road noise to bother us. Dining table was small, but we managed just fine. Kitchen was small but did the job. Modernized quarters in every way. Owner was helpful and answered all our requests. Cozy but pleasant and we enjoyed our 9-night stay.

Outstanding experience. This is the second time I’ve stayed here and it was as fantastic as the first. Great location. Clean and well represented by the pictures. Easy to drive to and from Stanford campus (we were here for a sports camp). Having a washer/dryer is a huge plus. I couldn’t ask for more. Communication was excellent. I will stay here again anytime I am back in Palo Alto!

The Place was great and perfect!

Yes, we had a wonderful stay. The place was awesome, so near to Stanford University where our son is staying/studying & whom we were visiting, the area is very residential and quiet but very near to shops and dining places. Communication with the owner was great and whole process was seamless. We hope to avail of their services again in one of our future visits to Stanford. We won’t look for another place to stay. This place was so great & perfect for us.

Great flat close in to Palo Alto

I was staying to help a cousin recover from brain surgery at Stanford. The flat was exactly as advertised. It also had everything needed for an extended stay: cooking, appliances, washer/dryer, TV (that accepts AirPlay). Communication was quick and accurate, and the entire area was clean and well appointed.
