Convenient & Clean

This home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor space was not to inviting but I do believe the owners are working on improving the grounds. Overall we were very comfortable, slept great in their cozy beds and felt very safe in the home.

Spacious place, close to Stanford

The house was very roomy inside. The living room and kitchen were very accommodating for the family. Each of the rooms were adequate for the short stay. They were all outfitted with AC window units that did keep the room cool for those hot nights. Was taken back by how much the outside of the house wasn't kept, saw a lot of cobwebs on the windows that expected to be taken care of by the previous cleaning crew. The location was close to downtown Palo Alto which was convenient for shopping and restaurants.

Beautiful kitchen, the rest of house shows its age.

Had a great time cooking and eating because of the chefs style kitchen. The home is older but has been updated to be very comfortable. All bedrooms are upstairs with their own air conditioning. Plenty of restrooms and the walk-in shower is great. The restroom downstairs is handy when using that part of the house. The neighborhood is acceptable but noisy at night. The street in front of the house is fast. The location is close to shopping and Stanford Hospital.

Check in process was easy and the host was a great communicator. The house was located near restaurants and shopping centers, which was nice and convenient. The exterior of the property wasn’t very welcoming. There really wasn’t any chairs or tables or anything to enjoy the yard space and there was garbage around the exterior and just random things laying around. The home has lots of character and the beds were really comfortable. The mattresses and the sheets were great. The home wasn’t very clean, many of the dishes were dirty, or at least not cleaned well. There was a lot of dust in the cabinets on the cups and kitchen supplies, seemed like maybe it hadn’t been stayed in in a while. There wasn’t any screens on the windows and a lot of cobwebs and spiders around the exterior of the windows so we couldn’t really open any windows. Many of the window locks were broken and the back door lock was broken as well, so it didn’t lock. There was a stick to “lock” it with, but it would still open a little, so it didn’t feel very safe. Overall, we still enjoyed the home but it really needs some major deep cleaning, organization (random things kind of all over) repairs and cosmetic work on both the interior and exterior. Oh and there was a bullet hole in the primary bedroom window…

About the host

Hosted by Ce Cole Dillon

Host profile image


I’m a retired Silicon Valley executive who loves technology, pickleball, and electric cars. Hosting here in the Valley has been such a joy—I truly enjoy helping guests experience the best of this amazing area.

We’re close to all the major Peninsula companies, with quick access to the Dumbarton Bridge, Hwy 101, I-280, and the San Mateo Bridge. You can reach SFO or SJC airports in under 20 minutes, and Levi’s Stadium is just 12 minutes away.

If you play pickleball, don’t miss the Mitchell Park courts—just 10 minutes away. They’re spectacular, open from 6 AM to 10 PM, and perfect for a friendly match or early-morning rally.

Why they chose this property

I chose this location because it sits right in the heart of Silicon Valley, making it easy to reach anywhere in the region. The home itself drew me in with its historic charm—over 100 years old, featuring tall, sun-filled windows and warm Douglas Fir floors that create a cozy, timeless feel.

What makes this property unique

Our home stands out for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and spacious design. The chef’s kitchen makes cooking and entertaining a pleasure, while the generous bedrooms offer plenty of room to relax. Gather in the cozy living area to share meals, conversation, or a movie night—perfect for families, colleagues, or friends traveling together.
