The rental was pretty much as described and was a great option for a single traveler. One small complaint is that the WiFi was not very strong. Additionally, the property has lots of vegetation which can attract bugs. So if you have a fear of spiders or other bugs, including in the rental, may not be a great option.

We had concert tickets at Stanford and found two nights in this charming cottage to be just what we needed. It is quite cozy, but it was great for the two of us. The kitchen was fully functional — we made breakfast both days. The bed was comfortable and it’s clear the hosts put a lot of thought into the form and function of the space. We enjoyed the garden setting amongst the Redwoods — the skylights bring in lovely light and views of those redwoods. There were so many lovely details inside and out in this property. We hope to return one day.

It was such a tranquil stay at this little cottage. It was so quiet, I appreciated that coming from a more metropolitan area. The property managers provide everything you need to make your stay comfortable.

This small home is just lovely. Modestly decorated but with everything you need. The garden is a big highlight! So many interesting plants, all flowering this time of year… it really takes you out of the hustle of Silicon Valley traffic. Plenty of street parking, too. Perfect for one person, or two who don’t mind snuggling up.

The property was very cute and just what we needed. A little further from Stanford Stadium than we would have liked, but we had never been to Palo Alto before, so we didn’t know the area. Great neighborhood and beautiful. plants and big redwoods around the property.

My daughter and stayed at Theo and Erica’s while in town looking at apartment rentals. The neighborhood was great for its proximity to Stanford campus and trails leading to the Dish. The cottage is comfortable and well stocked with kitchenware and basic supplies like coffee, sugar, spices, and soaps. It’s in a beautiful garden with two redwoods beside it.

Our stay was pleasant--comfortable bed, quiet, easy parking. Very kind owners who always responded to questions quickly. I think the cottage would be ideal for one guest but we managed with two. My only suggestion for the owners is to make more shelf space available in the bathroom. and to have the housekeepers dust the bedroom. Otherwise, thank you for a nice stay!

It was all good but the heat.

A nice secluded location, very close to Stanford. Erica and Theo were very friendly and helpful. Well-equipped cottage, except.... It was unusually warm during our stay, which made the lack of air conditioning a significant issue. The fans were helpful, but afternoons and evenings were uncomfortable.

Home away from home

Home away from home

I was attending my brother's graduation at Stanford University and the location was excellent and very convenient for this. The property is as listed and in a quiet neighbourhood. There's a side entrance that ensured privacy. The hosts are very warm and thoughtful. They've considered everything to ensure guests have everything to make the stay feels like a "home away from home". The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and small patio are all thoughtfully designed and fully kitted out. I would definitely stay again.
