A charming place to stay in a fantastic location. Easy walk to University Ave, Stanford's campus, Town and Country shopping Center, and Caltrain. The guest house is impeccably maintained and is a quiet oasis in the beautiful downtown Palo Alto neighborhood. I hope it will be available for our next visit.

Quick trip to Palo Alto

My wife and I needed a place close to Stanford and Menlo Park for a family event - the property was perfect for our trip. Comfortable, clean, quiet and just a few blocks from terrific coffee, restaurants and shops.

Wonderful stay!

I LOVED staying in this little cottage. Everything was so carefully thought out and well-designed. The bed was really comfortable. The linens were lovely; everything was spanking clean. It was really easy to communicate with the host. The neighborhood is charming and QUIET and full of big trees and if you’re interested in early 20th century domestic architecture you’ll have a feast walking around. There are plenty of outlets and Wi-Fi that easily works and even hooks in all the places you would want them. Plus a large umbrella which was perfect in the rain. I love the desk by the window and would definitely stay here again. It’s indeed small and probably best for one person. As in the description there is no kitchen, but there is a little refrigerator and Whole Foods is about a six minute walk away so easy to have the (cold) food one might wish for. (Also a Peets right next door to WF). The one thing I was surprised not to find was a an electric water kettle, and some cups. I really would have enjoyed a cup of hot tea during the rain. (LOVED the little skylights w the sun coming in and the rain coming down.) All in all: a delightful experience ! An excellent retreat. Many thanks.

Quiet, safe, and well-appointed

This freestanding guest suite is in the back of a house in a very quiet neighborhood very close to downtown Palo Alto. It was a very easy walk from the Palo Alto CalTrain platform. The room is luxurious, and the hosts have included several comforts and conveniences for their guests, including a coffee maker, hair dryer, extra pillows, and excellent internet access via wifi. There's a roomy bathroom with a very comfortable shower. No train or street noise at all. I slept very well! The host was quick to help when I got slightly lost on the way. 10/10
