A quiet, bright and nicely-outfitted apartment that is in a convenient and lovely location. It makes an extended stay in Palo Alto very easy.

Great little studio with everything you need for a stay in Palo Alto. There's a hotplate, microwave, coffee maker, and even beans and a grinder—not to mention AC. It's in a quiet suburban neighbourhood; I recommend renting a bike to get around.

The place was great. Bed was comfortable and the big moniterwas a welcome amenity. Nice walk to the great restaurants on California Ave. Plenty of parking. The only complaint is you do need to run the hot water a while for it to get hot.

Very close to Stanford, a great efficiency studio with the basic amenities and a spare monitor which made working online a breeze. Irene is a pleasure to work with as a host.

Host was wonderful! Attentive and kind. And GREAT BED AND PILLOWS and towels. Hot water took a very long time both in sink and shower. Room temperature was quite chilly even with good heating - the unit never gets direct sun and has little or no insulation. It’s clean and functional- but not cozy. Good surface desk as place to work on laptop. No place to sit and have breakfast, Not cozy. Still host is outstanding
