Perfect Location

This is the perfect stay for any events at Stanford! We were in town to watch our daughter on the beach volleyball team and this was the perfect house and location. We could easily walk back and forth to campus, which is literally across the street. The house was extremely clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The beds were also extremely comfortable and each bedroom has a portable AC unit which we needed during our stay in April. We definitely would stay here again!!

Perfect Palo Alto

Shelly was wonderful and incredibly flexible about our stay. The place is even better than we expected - all the amenities you need for a longer stay and super close to Stanford and local shops. I can’t recommend enough!

Perfect stay

I stayed here over July 4th 2022 with my husband and adult daughter. Our host responded very quickly to our questions and was quite helpful. The property is in a great location which is close to Stanford, and in easy commuting distance to SF airport, San Francisco, San Jose and surrounding areas. It is very clean and well stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen and a bonus welcome gift in the fridge and coffee station. The linens were very good quality and we all slept well in the comfy beds. I’m sure we will be back and hope to stay here again in the future.

Make your spouse/SO happy and stay here

This unit is super comfortable, nicely furnished and decorated, efficiently laid out and the location is unsurpassed. Kitchen was well equipped. Dining area and coffee bar are an added plus. Maybe the best part were the beds. Heavenly and we are picky. The host was very helpful. Will stay here again and recommend to our friends.

Perfect Place To Stay

We were working on a site in Atherton and this place was a great find considering there were only 3 places left on VRBO to chose from when we went to book last week. The listing was completely accurate. The home would be perfect for long term stays as well with plenty of storage in the closets, extra linens, well stocked kitchen. There are basic condiments and spices left in the cabinets! The beds are amazing as well! Thank you for the use of your home :)
