The place was clean, well-equipped, and perfectly located for Stanford. The neighborhood is great for walking and the restaurants and cafes on University Ave are within walking distance. Tracy was a great host, checking in to see if we needed anything.
We had a great 2 week stay here. The cottage was well-equipped with everything we needed. Further, the design of the place is welcoming, feels spacious, and has very comfortable beds. The location was perfect for access to Stanford and is great for walking or running. We enjoyed being able to walk to the cafes/restaurants on University Ave. Tracy was a wonderful host, and reached a out a number of times to check in and make sure we had everything we needed.
We had a great time staying here! The house was perfect for our family of four including two small children. The amenities were great, Tracy answered all of our questions, and the home was comfortable. The house was clean and equipped with everything we could have needed and more. Great location and convenient for us to get everywhere we needed to go. Highly recommend! Would definitely stay here again if we are back in the area!
Location was wonderful and close to Stanford and the restaurants in Palo Alto. Cottage was very clean and well stocked. Host was super easy to communicate with. Would stay here again.
Enjoyed staying here. We thought the location was good and my daughter loved the bed. The kitchen was fine. The hot water supply could maybe be improved a touch, but it was adequate. Overall excellent.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage while dropping our son off at Stanford. The property was extremely clean and Tracy was very responsive and accommodating. The location was fantastic in an upscale walkable neighborhood. We walked to downtown Palo Alto for coffee and meals every day. We will definitely stay again!
The Cottage was perfect! Clean, so comfortable and the design and care put into it makes the small footprint live large. Very comfortable for three adults in our family. The kitchen has everything - even an InstantPot. Super close to town. We walked everywhere and hardly used our rental car. We would definitely stay here again.
The "Cottage" is well designed and has everything you need in a short-term rental. Well appointed small kitchen with breakfast bar. Bathroom was clean with a shower stall and large vanity. Good internet and 2-desks for working. All relatively new and clean. Located in a nice Palo Alto neighborhood within walking distance to downtown. Host was great. Stayed for 14-days and will stay there again.
Stayed here for a few nights when our daughter graduated from Stanford. Lovely neighborhood, easy walk to campus. We would definitely stay again. Thanks!

Hi Melanie,
Sorry for the late response. Very glad that you like the cottage:-)
Tracy
Very nice little place, lots of amenities. Beautiful neighborhood. Full kitchen, but since we only stayed two days, we ate out. Dining options in area are very good. Our only issue was couch in bedroom instead of living room where the TV was.

I am originally from China but have been a Bay area resident for more than a decade now. I love food and travel, and I enjoy tea much more than coffee. My husband and I have two kids - a boy and a girl. I am a stay home mom but with a busy schedule - sending kids to all kinds of after-school activities. I hope home sharing will be a fun way to meet with people around the world!
