About this house rental
This three bedrooms two and a half bath home is located in a charming and quite neighborhood, The house is close to Facebook HQ and Stanford University as well as a local market, bakery, Starbucks, Brewery, and an excellent Mexican Restaurant in a walking distance.
The house has been completely redesigned, rebuilt and includes a new second floor addition, a large new BELGARD European cobblestone driveway, as well as much admired "Story Book" front garden that welcomes you upon arrival.
The space
From the outset we wanted to create a place of serenity where guests could enjoy a complete rest.
in order to carry out that goal we designed this modest interpretation o the Greek islands Architecture.
The Greek islands provide for people from all over the world a place for complete rejuvenation. Travelers attain that deep relaxation by learning to surrender to the islands simple but striking beauty.
We designed the first floor as an indoor patio around a cactus and orchid garden. the garden / solarium is actually the living room. The open dining room has a view of the indoor garden and both are next to the open Gourmet kitchen that is also connected to a private deck and garden.
Half a level up is the Master Bedroom with a King size bed that leads to an extra large walk in shower room with a large upper sky window.
In few further up stairs there is another sleeping area, separated by a door with two more bedroom, one o them with another King size bed. The two King size beds enjoy Italian tailored Hotel, Satin stitched bedding collection purchased from "Restoration Hardware".
The upper bedrooms lead to a large second floor deck with a covered sitting area and a roof garden. Throughout the house there is a new Traver tine stone floor as well as a new drywall, plumbing, electrical and roofing. Most rooms enjoy a vaulted / coffer ceilings
All three bedrooms have HVAC. Laundry is by the kitchen.
Original paintings with a Greek island Motif done by Amnon are displayed throughout the house. Enhanced house cleaning process is done. All surfaces are disinfected and sanitized..

We had a lovely four week stay at Amnon's house. This house shows how a talented architect can elevate a modest suburban dwelling into a something exceptional.
The open-plan ground floor is flooded with light from windows & skylights. Amnon keeps a wonderful selection of plants inside and out, providing a constant connection to nature. The outlook is completely private, and the interior décor is tasteful and calming. The ground floor heating takes a few hours to warm up from cold, but it's then easy to maintain temperature. There's a small smart TV, although the location makes watching from the sitting area tricky.
The master bedroom has a large en-suite bathroom with two basins and big shower. On the upper floor, there's a spacious bedroom with large south-facing windows and balcony, and one smaller bedroom, plus shared bathroom. The layout and use of space is excellent.
The property is the main unit of three. This unit benefits from the main front door and use of the driveway. There is a bit of noise transfer on occasion, but clever design maximises privacy.
Amnon welcomed us and was happy to help with anything throughout. He tolerated our noisy young children and associated clutter, and helped us with late checkout on our last day as we had an evening flight.
The neighbourhood is safe & quiet, yet very convenient for 101. We walked around and met friendly neighbours. We loved our stay in this well executed and cared for property. Thank you Amnon, we hope to return!

My parents were visiting me from abroad and I booked Amnon's house for five days. They had a great time during their stay and especially loved the quiet neighborhood. The house was spacious, with a lot of character and perfect for my parents who appreciated the serene surrounding. I highly recommend Amnon's house for travelers tired of the city noise and traffic.

We loved all the windows and art. I spent time reading in the upper bedrooms because of great sunshine that filled the rooms.
Super location...quick drive to the conference my husband was attending.
We used the kitchen daily; liked the well designed eating area that was easy the use and clean. Did a few loads of laundry.
Only negative: we felt the main floor was too cool to enjoy fully. The owner provided a space heater; however, I may have tripped the circuit breaker or something and we were not able to use it.

Stayed here over the holiday weekend with our adult children. The home is spacious, very clean with lots of natural light. Multi level so take consideration if there are mobility concerns (all bedrooms upstairs). Bedrooms were good size and very comfortable. The owner was very responsive and attentive. Would stay there again!

Our family loved staying here & the house was in a good location for us. The house has an open floor plan with a basic equipped kitchen, dining, and living area. Bedrooms were upstairs on different levels which provided privacy. The host met us at check-in to hand over the keys and house details. Thanks for everything!

We recently spent a week at this wonderful vacation property. The location was especially convenient to Stanford where my son was attending a camp and an easy drive to San Francisco to sightsee. The decor is bright, fresh, and inviting. Bedrooms very comfortable, bathrooms clean and nicely equipped, living spaces generously sized and comfortable. Clearly an artists eye designed and finished these spaces. We would definitely stay here again if our travels bring us back to the area.

Really appreciated the cleanliness, beauty, and uniqueness of this property. We loved spending our morning’s and evenings on the deck surrounded by greenery. The owner was very kind and responsive. The only thing I wish was in the description prior to renting is that the owner (& friend) would be staying in the front room of the home. Otherwise it was an incredible visit and would definitely love to stay here again.

Stay here if you want a worry free getaway! The positive reviews for this property are right on par. Conveniently located to main roads and Stanford U, but nestled within a nice community for daily strolls. The interior was clean and thoughtfully appointed, a light and airy feel without feeling stuffy. The owner was courteous and responsive. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked and clean. The outdoor garden and patio were lovely. We will definently be back! 10 out of 10!

Beautiful home in great location
Our family loved our stay in your beautiful home! It was so clean, comfortable and a perfect location as our teens were attending a camp at Stanford which was just a short drive away. The home and gardens are well kept and had everything we needed and Amnon was lovely to work with! We would definitely rent it again next year. Thank you!

Lovely House
We had a lovely stay - the house was clean and well maintained and had all the basics you would need. The neighborhood was very safe and convenient to Paolo Alto, Stanford campus and the surrounding areas. There was a market and a starbucks around the corner. Overall it was a great experience!

We spent 4 days in Amnon's lovely home, which was larger than we expected (more than we needed) and ticked every vrbo box - clean, comfortable; a home-from-home.

We really enjoyed our stay at Amnon's. It's even more beautiful in person. He welcomed us and was such a pleasant and interesting man to meet. The home is filled with his artwork. He also does his own landscaping and is to thank for the abundance of flowers, figs, oranges, and mulberries! The home is in a very sweet and quiet neighborhood, close to everything we needed. I definitely recommend it and will stay again.

Great Greek (inspired) Getaway
This property was the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed in! Amnon (property manager) greeted us upon arrival, allowing us the check in early. The home is absolutely gorgeous and was perfect for our family reunion. Conveniently located to downtown Palo Alto (12 mins) but on a quiet street. The backyard garden is stunning and the back deck inviting. All the beds were comfortable with Restoration Hardware bedding. Amnons beautiful art decorates the walls. We cooked many meals in the well stocked kitchen. (The only thing missing was a cookie sheet)
I took a video of the entire place when we arrived and I wish I could post it. Rent this Greek inspired sanctuary. You won’t be sorry!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing and authentic Greek experience with beautiful garden
My work colleagues and I stayed here for several days for a startup conference we were attending in Redwood City. The host was very communicative and welcoming when we arrived for check in.
The house itself is so beautiful and the biggest thing that makes it stand out from others is the gorgeous landscaping and gardening that has gone into the outside. The smell of roses and other flowers blew us away when we first arrived and it was so calming to look out the windows at them in the afternoons as the sun was setting.
We will definitely stay here again whenever we are in the area.

My colleague and I came to stay for 3 weeks as we were working on a project that had brought us to Menlo Park. Amnon is a wonderful host. He is kind, responsive and very much wanted us to have a successful stay. The house is great. Clean, spacious, quiet and has everything you need. Both king bedrooms are extremely private and have their own special charm. The backyard is so cute and has a great deck to relax in the sun. The house is excellent for cooking and dining in with a nice dining table set up right near the cozy fireplace. Amnon was also very open to suggestions and strives to be a wonderful host. Will definitely return.
