Super clean and organized! For our family the perfect location with elders in the hospital and at the retirement home. Palo Alto is wonderful and the host communication was excellent.
My extended family was visiting for the holidays and really enjoyed the house. Spacious, updated, comfortable and well appointed. The location was great and the host was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!
This home was fantastic and is as pictured. We were here for 5 weeks while a family member was being treated at Stanford. The kitchen is spacious and very well equipped. Couldn’t have been happier about the home.
This home was perfect for my family. Fully stocked, clean and comfy. Backyard was such a hit with my kids. I would 100% recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
While the home itself was nice, it was not updated as pictures in llisting had showed more frustrating. I was charged an additional 300 after my stay for things like trash left behind crumbs by the bedside flies in the house none of these which caused any actual damage I already paid 4000 for this plus 100 for extra insurance and I was never shown any photos or proof of any claim. I was very disappointed that Virgo allowed the charges without verifying the situation, especially after such a significant overall payment. when I spoke to the owners, they Said we broke the back door handle . The house is pretty old, and the handles were wore out . They also mentioned that step was broke to outside, which was dry rotted again no photos to prove otherwise. I have been renting from Vurbo for the last 5 years and never had an issues with anyone This is the departure list beware make sure you bring a pick up to haul off the trash 1/2 mile down the road.
We loved staying here! The house was beautiful, spotless, spacious, and perfect for sharing our Thanksgiving with family. We also enjoyed the orange tree. We will be back if our travels bring us back to Palo Alto.
The house is adorable! It is exactly represented as listed on VRBO. The neighborhood is full of charm and very safe. The beds were very comfortable and the layout of the house is great for groups. We visited the area with 3 moms and our daughters for a volleyball camp and could not have been happier with the home, location and comfort for our group. It was truly perfect! I would stay at this property again if we are ever back in the area.
