Could not have been more pleases

I have stayed at several rental properties. This one exceeded all of them. It is a beautiful well stocked house. The living space was spacious, bathrooms updated as well as the kitchen. The location is perfect for anyone wanting access to downtown Palo Alto, Stanford, and/or Los Altos. We will definitely try to get this house for next Christmas holiday season.

Pretty Palo Alto

Angela has been wonderful with helping us get checked in a tad earlier due to a surgery I had the day before…Also, was not insistent on the 10a.m departure but gave us a little extra time again due to my surgery and time needed to gather…The gardens here are incredible. I would go back just to sit in this yard…Beautiful location…a stroll down these streets is just what the doctor ordered….you should immediately decide on Angelas home over others…

We’ve stayed here before and will continue to return whenever we’re visiting Palo Alto. Clean, comfortable, and host is very responsive and accommodating. If you’re disappointed with this home, then you’re one of those individuals who is impossible to please.

A lovely oasis

We lived in Palo Alto decades ago and this stay brought back such fond memories of a quiet town that still has a lot of the flavor of its past as well as new, more upscale Silicon Valley vibe on California Avenue. The house is tastefully decorated, with organic neutral earth colors that are restful and serene. All bathrooms are updated and the kitchen could be a showroom for an appliance store, with a beautiful Wedgewood-paneled oven that we found intimidating but loved its visual elegance! Will definitely stay here again. Also, the host--Angela Pryor--is so responsive and cheerful with answering our questions about the television streaming. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Amazing stay in great location

We stayed here for a week in July while our kids attended Stanford soccer camp. The home was perfect for us--has a great layout and perfect master suite upstairs. The home had everything we needed, and Angela was very responsive when we had questions. The home was charming and in a wonderful location in Old Town Palo Alto. We are already planning to return next summer!

As advertised!

Beautiful space! Property matched property photos. Small insects like ants, silverfish, spiders in the house. Would have been nice if exterior patio furniture could have been cleaned/maintained. Lots of dust, debris, stains, and cobwebs.

Spectacular

I don’t want to leave such a positive review because I selfishly want the property to be available to me for future trips. I suppose I’ll just have to plan months in advance because I’m sure other visitors will book this perfect home when they are in the area. If you have the opportunity, don’t pass this one up!

Wedding hang out

Six adults stayed for a week to attend out son's wedding in Menlo Park. Beautiful and clean property in a quiet residential neighborhood but close to shopping and downtown Palo Alto. Knockout master bedroom suite. Very nice backyard with gazebo and outdoor dining space plus shady porch when it got warm. Angela is a very responsive owner and clearly takes pride in maintaining an exceptional property.

Beautiful Home

The home is in a beautiful neighborhood. Very close to everything. There is no air conditioning downstairs and it was hot during our stay so it did get a little uncomfortable. The fans helped. The yard is really pretty but having a grill would have been a nice addition. Overall we enjoyed the home. It is well appointed and very nice.

Comfortable home, ideal location, wonderful neighborhood

It’s hard to beat the Golden Triangle for a stay in Palo Alto. This property is located in a quiet neighborhood with many beautiful, flower-filled gardens, within easy walking distance of the California Avenue commercial district and a longer walk or a short drive to downtown Palo Alto. . The home itself is spacious and comfortable.

Such nice outside space, an outdoor grill with a larger stock of cooking utensils would improve the opportunity for outdoor dining.

Great for a short stay

This property "shows" well. For us, it was at first comfortable and easy to live in. The yard is nice and the layout of the house is convenient. As our stay grew longer, we had some issues arise: no "instruction manual" was provided to prepare us for our month-long stay (info about garbage pickup, emergency services, appliances, etc); there is no A/C except for the master bedroom; there were no screens installed on most of the windows - so leaving them open was not an option; there is a very small washer and dryer suitable only for small loads - and the dryer vents into the kitchen; there were no spare linens for the master bedroom until we asked for them; the rugs used to decorate the kitchen were in need of serious cleaning; and, the dining room chairs are far too low for comfortable dining. That said, the location is convenient and the house is nicely decorated. Great for a short stay.
