I had excellent communication with the host as well as the property care taker who I had to call with a plumbing issue. They were responsive and helpful every step of the way.The house had the space we needed for our extended family and enough dishes, towels, bedding, seating for our group. The outside area we didn't use because of the seasonal limitations and rainy weather.Overall, it was a comfortable and easy stay.
The house was perfect for our needs and was in such a convenient central location. The hosts were very communicative and responsive and the house was tidy and had everything we needed.
Great stay with lots of space for large groups. Small backyard/deck to hang out at and across the street from a park and cafe. Lots of space to sleep throughout the house. Check in was easy and hosts were communicative and easy to reach
This house was perfect for us, our kids, and grandkids. Quiet upstairs for sleeping children, nice big kitchen, large dining table in and out and a great little pool for kid fun! It felt like home. Also, the manager was very available for questions and suggestions. Very helpful. If in the area again we would rent this property. Thanks for a perfect spot!
We needed a place to stay while a family member was having surgery at Stanford. It was an easy drive there and affordable for our group. Comfortable and clean place to stay with the comforts of home.
Thank you for a comfortable stay.

The home was perfect for 4 adults and 3 bathrooms a plus. Nice yard, wish Jacuzzi worked. We were out everyday at 7am and home after 8. Enjoyed not being in a hotel!!!
Great, clean, and reasonably priced property in Palo Alto
Stayed for a little over a week with a work colleague...Home was clean...Home was in complete working order...owners made access super easy...very pleasant stay...wish it was warmer so we could have enjoyed the beautiful pool!
Enjoyed our staycation in Palo Alto, visiting the Stanford Shopping Center, Stanford University campus and venturing south to attractions in Santa Clara / San Jose.This home was very comfortable and the size was suitable for our family of 10 (a mix of adults and children); together to celebrate my parents' 48th wedding anniversary. Great location, with convenient Safeway, Walgreens nearby; and the Magical Bridge playground for the kiddos.
We enjoyed the comfort of this home when attending an event at Stanford recently. Joyce & Duke were great to work with. The home is very clean and comfortable. The pool and backyard were a great oasis.
Perfect spot for those that want to hang out between San Jose and San Francisco
We were able to visit family and attend events up and down the Peninsula. Everything seemed to be close to this location. Took the train up to SF to enjoy a Giants game as well from Palo Alto station. Also a great part across the street for those with littles. Swimming pool was a nice treat for our kids and the house has a lot of space to spread out after the long day!
We have a grandchild in San Carlos who was celebrating a birthday and preschool graduation. Her cousins, aunts and uncles joined us to congratulate Norah! The house is very close to the Palo Alto zoo.
The home is generally as represented: it’s clean, functional and well equipped, though not fancy. Outside BBQ area and deck are nicely done and comfortable.
Large kitchen and lots of common space made it very comfortable to have a family reunion.
We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. The house was large and well-maintained. It is in the center of Palo Alto, so it was close to everywhere we needed to go. The hosts were very friendly, extremely helpful, and quick to respond when we couldn't figure out how to unlock the electric stove. The house had all the amenities we needed. There wasn't anything missing. We will definitely stay there the next time we are in Palo Alto, California.
Kitchen -- we cooked a lot. Dining room table sat all 11 of us.
Three full bathrooms. Four full bedrooms and one converted den. Comfortable.
Driveway - long and lean.
Outdoors- amazing.
for space it was fantastic, decent layout where people could do a couple things. Only minor quibble was the number of things not working (neither fireplace...not that we were going to have one going in September), the tub upstairs, the garbage disposal...some thought the pool was supposed to be heated...but those things aside, it was everything it was supposed to be. We had space, were able to make and eat the meals there and get to the park quickly. very nice.

Thank you very much for the 5-star review and the feedback. As a follow-up, the items listed as not working, are actually not listed as amenities with our home. For example, the tub upstairs (mentioned in the review) is the master bedroom whirlpool tub. The 'whirlpool feature (ie. the jets) no longer function, but the tub works great for a regular bath. Plus, we have two other bathrooms in the home, each with two full tubs as well. And, while the pool is not a 'heated' pool it is good and warm to swim during the summer months with an average pool temperature of 80-83 degrees on most days in the months from June to September.
We had a great time staying at this house. There were “quirks” but overall it was pretty lovely. The location is excellent, and the pool was a treat. Plenty of space to spread out too. The beds and bedding were very clean but simple. The dishware was homey. The ice machine and hot tub were broken. Overall it felt like a nice stay at grandma’s house, which worked fine for us. It was nice to have everyone together in Palo Alto, and we appreciate the owners for sharing their home.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We were happy to host your family. One note: yes, the hot tub is not functional, so we have never included the hot tub as amenity for the home. We try to make that clear in our VRBO description, but we need to do a better job at communicating that. However, the pool is available to use and guests love it:)

The home is right in the middle of Palo Alto. So close to everything. It has a wonderful local, neighborhood feel.

What makes this property unique
While inside the home is amazing and comfortable, the backyard is paradise. It's a large backyard with manicured landscaping and grassy areas. It includes a pool (with a pool safety fence) and a wonderful open deck with a large BBQ and outdoor dining table. It's a wonderful spot to work from (we great wifi coverage outside too), to relax or to have your meals.
