Great Location!

Such a great long weekend away. Loved being able to walk everywhere, and would definitely stay here again. The delivery of bagels in the morning was so sweet. I couldn't eat them because I'm gluten free, but my son really enjoyed them and took the leftovers back to SF when he left. Thanks for a wonderful, comfortable place to stay.

Central Palo Alto April 2022

From the original introduction on VRBO's webpage I got the destinct impression I was renting a small house. Large was my suprise, when I found, it was an apartment in a back building - one floor up via one of two very narrow staircases. For 85 year year old man it is not a joy to carry heavy suitcases up one of the these. In addition the parking situation is atrocious. Too many cars on too little space. We were disappointed.
