Charming studio in old Palo Alto

Cute and super neat studio in prestigious neighborhood of old Palo Alto, full privacy, moments to top Palo Alto schools, Downtown, Stanford, shopping, Midtown Center, Caltrain & California Avenue, farmers market. Great for walking or biking to Stanford.

The space
The studio is detached from Main house, facing to a quiet backyard, you could enjoy a fresh lemon/ peppermint drink in the morning if you prefer. It’s very clean and cozy, perfect for one to three person stay. Watch Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and other apps on a large TV via Roku. It will be one queen size bed in the studio as default.

For long stay, weekly cleaning could be arranged on guest’s cost.

Parking
Along the street (free parking) or use my driveway if you prefer.

Guest access
Guest uses the private gate ( right side of the main house) as entrance, on the check in day pls let me know when you will be arriving, and please check yourself in via the lockbox on the studio door.

Other things to note
