good value for the price
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.

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!

Great Location
My husband’s three adult children and grandson stayed in this cottage which is just minutes from our home. The location and convenience worked out to be perfect for a large family gathering at our house. I will definitely book this property again for out of town guests. I thoroughly recommend it because of its accessibility to Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Stanford.

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!
