Wonderful stay
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!

Perfect Location - Everything You Could Need
My son and I stayed at the cottage while looking at Santa Clara University, Stanford, and University of San Francisco. The location was perfect for all three. The cottage was tidy and clean, a pleasant place to stay overall. I worked from home while my son went for long runs (he's a distance runner) and found it perfect - great WiFi and working space. Plenty of light and amenities. The home owner was easy to communicate with and responsive. If my son goes to school in the area we will definitely be back!

Perfect for an important family stay
We were dropping off our son for his first year at Stanford, and so we wanted our last few hectic days together to be perfect. We loved staying here, and hope to do so again when we visit Palo Alto. It is immaculate with very comfy beds and stylish decor. There were places to truly unpack and the bathrooms and kitchen are stocked with everything you would need for a short stay. Tracy was the consummate host: the check-in details and instructions were very clear and she responded to any questions we had quickly and completely. It's in a great location: a converted garage apartment located in a very wealthy neighborhood.

The perfect place for our family!
We really enjoyed staying here. The house was just as it is advertised. It was clean and had good light. The kitchen was stocked with all the tools we needed. The bathroom also had many things available that people might forget and need while traveling. The host was very responsive to my questions at the time of booking and once we arrived. I made a request just prior to checking in that wasn’t part of her normal protocol, but she very kindly accommodated the request. We will absolutely stay here again when we are in the area.

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.

Location location location
This cottage was the perfect space for our family of 4 (two boys ages 6 and 8). We were able to visit Stanford campus easily, walk to coffee/food down University, and hit the 101 to go to San Jose or San Francisco. The shower is awesome, too, which is always welcome when you’re away from home. A little tricky sharing the driveway with the folks staying in the main house, but everyone was friendly.
