Great location and perfect for us.
My groomsmen and I stayed here over the weekend of my wedding and it could not have been more perfect. The house is spacious, clean, and conveniently located. Booking and communication were easy and quick. Highly recommend for anyone staying in the Bay Area.
Everything listed about the property was accurate! The space worked great for my family - even had extra beds. The kitchen worked for the simple meals we prepared. The location was convenient to family we were visiting. Would definitely stay again!
Very Fresh and Clean House… Very Nice Kitchen well stocked except for wine opener…? Nice screened porch for coffee(might want to remove worn “dining chairs”) Comfortable Bedrooms and Soothing Decor Baths could be bit updated and Safety Bar and nonslip strips for tub installed esp for Seniors as myself… But Overall Great Place and would book again!!
Good size 4 bedroom house, very clean and fully equipped.
All good
This home was perfect for four adults and two children to stay. The home is really nice with plenty of spacious areas, but also allowing for privacy. The dining room provided the perfect setting for our Thanksgiving meal with an additional three people joining us. There are lots of windows to let the natural light in and the kitchen was the perfect place to cook and prepare meals. The back screened in porch was a nice surprise. The house provides ample towels, cleaning supplies, along with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. All in all, it was a great home and served our single purpose of being together with family this Thanksgiving holiday. Thank you for your hospitality.
We are so glad to have found this delightful VRBO in Palo Alto, and we enjoyed a wonderful post-covid reunion with family. Looking forward to coming back! Thank you, Serenity hosts!
The place looked clean and it was spacious. Seemed a bit old and musty. Some minor things didn’t work. Toilet downstairs water kept running. Floors looked clean but after walking barefoot, our feet were black. Switch on one lamp was broken. But spacious, well located, and great communication with management.
The house has plenty of space, inside and out. Was in a good location for us. However the place needs some TLC. Better garden furniture is needed.
The living areas are attractive and comfortable, including all of the beds! The four bedrooms accommodating up to 9 sleepers worked especially well. The exterior of the house is a little less modern, and the screened area between the kitchen and garden, while very practical, needed a bit of upkeep. The garden is nothing special. Overall, however, this property suited a family of grandparents, parents, and teenagers very well.
House in quiet neighborhood that is convenient to Stanford and close to amenities. Management responsive and easy to communicate with. Easy check-in process. Photos are representative of property.
The home was very clean and as listed. It was great for the purpose of our stay. There are a few things in the home that could be updated but those things were not major.
