We hated to leave. The home is wonderful with everything needed for a seamless stay. Great neighborhood! Fantastic and very well organized host. Highly recommended!
Beautiful home minutes from Stanford University. Our teenage daughter attended Stanford for a week long sports camp- home had everything we needed. Spent our evenings on the lovely back patio. Easy parking directly in front of the home. Highly recommend.
Lovely home. Owner cares about comfort and making sure you have what you need. Close to Stanford in a great neighborhood. We would definitely stay again!
We had a very nice stay at the home across from Stanford. The location was perfect to visit my son! This home was comfortable, pleasant, and clean. It had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. I appreciated the private backyard and landscaping. I hope to return soon!
House is clean and well equipped. Great book selection! It’s an old house but well maintained. Laundry worked great. Beautiful neighborhood and front yard.
We were visiting Stanford and playing golf with our grandson. It was a perfect base for our activities. I will be recommending to my daughter when she brings him back to see Stanford
The host was very helpful. The location was perfect. A lovely yard and the house was spotless with very comfy beds. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessities.
This house was in a perfect location for our visit to Stanford. Very well maintained. The outdoor area and BBQ grill make a nice place to relax and eat. The kitchen is fully supplied with every thing we needed. The host responded quickly to us and worked with me on scheduling issues on my end. Great stay. Thank you.
This house was perfect for our family of four adults visiting Stanford. It is quiet and private in a charming neighborhood, walking distance to a supermarket. We would love to stay there again.
Clean, comfortable and close to Stanford. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with anything you could need. The back yard was a peaceful place to enjoy the evenings. Beautiful place to stay while going to a doctor’s appointment.
This house was a wonderful place to stay while visiting family in the area. House was clean and has a beautiful kitchen with lots of pots, pans, utensils, coffee, tea, etc.
Lovely, quiet neighborhood to walk around. Would definitely stay there again
This 2 bedroom home was in a great location and worked perfectly for the grandparents to stay in for their visit. It was well appointed, comfortable and no issues. The host was responsive and easy to contact.
This home was absolutely lovely. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It was clean and uncluttered. The yard was adorable and a nice quiet and cool reprieve from the hot summer days. Not to mention, the location can’t be beat. We will absolutely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is very clean, tastefully furnished, cosy, we found everything we needed, e.g. in the kitchen, lovely little garden, very quiet despite excellent location near Standord Campus and Sand Hill Road. Safe parking of the car in the street near house without problems.
This location was very close to our Family. Walking distance. Very nice location. The house and landscaping is impressive. We enjoyed our time there. Short bike ride to the campus and to the Farmers Market.
Thank you so much!

Great home close to Stanford
This is an impeccably maintained cottage in a very quiet neighborhood within walking distance to Stanford. Beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Lovely grounds with tangerine, lemon and orange trees. I would have given 5 stars but the property is advertised as having a spa but guests cannot use it. I would def stay here again
