A nicely furnished small house with comfortable bed. Gets slightly cold overnight in the winter, but heaters and plenty of additional blankets are provided. Helen is a friendly and helpful host. I'm glad I stayed here.

Helen's place is great for a short stay in Palo Alto and was convenient to get to Stanford. She's very hospitable and easy to communicate with. Definitely coming back!

Had a wonderful stay at Helen's guest house! Helen was very easy to communicate with and very flexible with checking in (came in very late). The house is beautiful, clean, and well equipped. It even has a piano in it ;-) I definitely recommend staying with Helen!

Helens place was perfect for our stay. We were scouting the area for a potential move and this location is near the freeway and very easy to find. It was a fully functional kitchen, washroom, futon type bed, closet space and table space to eat and work. I'd definitely stay here again

Helen is a great host, communicative prior to arrival, and everything as expected upon arrival.

Helen's was a wonderful, comfortable and hospitable place to stay. We enjoyed the spacious cottage, with easy access to the Bay Area. We would certainly like to revisit and would happily recommend to others looking for suitable accommodation in the area.

Helen is a very nice host.The house is easy to find.Regrettably, the kitchen ware are a bit dirty and it seems the previous renter didn't clean.

Great price and the place is really cute and clean! My parents love the place. If you're looking for an affordable and homey place, check out Helen's!

Great space, perfect for 1 or 2 people. Clean, convenient & easy check in. Easy to get to downtown SF... about an hour taking Caltrain & BART. Uber pool from uptown is about $17. Burlingame is also a very cool town... Great shops & restaurants. A great place to go to explore the bay area!

What you see in the pics is what you get. Basically a very clean, large bedroom with a private bathroom!!! Bed was large and comfortable, wifi worked, parking was easy, nice neighborhood. Easy check in. Would stay again if in the area!

Very handy location for stop off before our flight. Quiet neighbourhood as described, and very easy to get to and from San Francisco via the cal train (10-15 min walk). Studio was clean, comfortable and just what we needed. Thank you!

The place was very clean and bright. Comfortable bed and easy parking. Walkable (though ~20 minutes) to the Burlingame CalTrain stop for easy access to downtown San Francisco. Eleanore was very quick to respond and helpful in her messages.

Eleanor is a great host. She is very responsive and her studio is Newly renovated and very well equipped. Got everything you need within a short driving distance from SFO. There is also a closet space for hanging your clothes in the bathroom, which you might not be able to see in the picture. Good for biz travellers and will definitely consider renting it again if I come to visit in town.

Booked this stay for my parents. What a great place! Very clean, quiet & such a safe neighborhood. Eleanore was always available when we had questions. My parents said it was AMAZING! We will definitely be back.

It's very good ! Thanks

The studio was the perfect size for 2, it was clean and comfortable. Check-in was easy and hassle free. If ever in the area would definitely stay there again. It was perfect for our needs.

Beautiful little cottage very well equipped and the location is perfect. We felt very safe travelling late at night in the area and there are plenty of restaurants in the local area.travelling into the city is very easy using the Bart from the local station. Radhia and Patrice provide lots of local information to help you navigate the area. We would definitely stay again when in the area.

Radhia and her husband we're very welcoming and helpful with directions. The cottage was exactly as described and the neighborhood was a nice place to spend our weekend. We would stay again and recommend The Cottage on the Hill to friends! Thanks, Radhia!

Very lovely private space. Enjoyed very much.

Our hosts were kind and welcoming. The cottage was cozy. Everything was well organized. Loved it!

An ideal place to retreat to if you have meetings in both SF and the valley. Also a convenient spot for airport transfers that are either very early or late. Really enjoyed my stay!

This little cottage close to the airport was perfect for our quick one night stay. It had everything you would need. The bed was super comfy and the sheets were sooo soft. Check in was a breeze. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer! It's perfect for a long trip to the Bay Area.

The Cottage was found exactly as listed. Privacy was important to me and the cottage was exactly what I was looking for. It was very easy for me to move in and out without disturbing anyone. Radhia and her husband were extremely welcoming and made everything easy. I was given a guidebook that helped me find the location of the place, how to operate the large flatscreen tv, and where the closest stores/restaurants were. Plenty of room in the Cottage for the two of us staying there. Thank you Radhia for renting out your cottage to us. Will definitely book again!

I feel really luck to have been able to stay at Radhia's cozy, quiet cabin. Tucked away in the back of their quiet & secluded yard in the midst of an even more quiet and secluded neighborhood, this was a real oasis from the hubbub of Silicon Valley. And yet, while it was uber-relaxing and chill at this cottage, the walk into downtown Burlingame was a straight and easy 15 minutes (max) - once there, a plethora of shops, restaurants and coffee shops awaited. Radhia's communication was great and her PDF file with pictures for directions sets the standard for Airbnb hosts everywhere. The cottage was spotless, comfortable, had everything I needed and then some (snacks, some breakfast food, coffee).

Wonderful stay! I was in town for a few days on business and found this adorable cottage on a very unique and cozy property with towering redwoods - feels like a tree house! Hosts were both incredibly kind with a great welcome but then gave me my space so I felt free to come and go as I pleased with a separate entrance and key to the stand alone cottage. I slept well - super comfortable bed, simple and clean bathroom, and very quiet. Location is fantastic - on a quiet side street but right off of Embarcadero, blocks from downtown Palo Alto and the Town & Country shopping center. Parking is available right outside the front door. I plan to stay here again next time I'm in town.

This was a fabulous experience in a lovely home, secluded and charming and yet conveniently walkable to downtown. Meimei and Lynn are charming and fascinating hosts. Staying with them was the kind of excellent Airbnb experience that turns people into converts.

Perfect place to stay! Amazing location (walking distance to downtown, town & country shopping center, and the edge of Stanford campus) and wonderful hosts. The place is located right in the center of Palo Alto and yet one feels completely transported into another world as soon as you enter the space. Highly recommended!

Meimei and Lynn's place was perfect for our week-long stay in Palo Alto. The cottage is located on their beautiful historic property just a 10 minute walk from downtown. The room was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Meimei and Lynn are super friendly and great hosts. We would definitely stay there again!

Meimei and Lynn were extremely accommodating and their room was exactly as pictured and described. My sister and I stayed at their place and came in on different flights at different times. They were fine with a late "check-in." They had cookies and apples waiting for us (a nice treat after a long flight!) Very gracious and excellent hosts, just wish we had more time to sit and chat with them, but our trip did not allow for it. Overall, a lovely place, nice and quiet, very close to downtown Palo Alto and Stanford. A 20-ish minute stroll to the CalTrain to downtown San Fran too. I would highly recommend Meimei and Lynn's place for your travel in this area!

Very comfortable, clean, and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay here and Patrick was very accommodating!

The room and bath are located downstairs and are quite private and comfortable. This is quiet, lovely residential neighborhood very close to (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) campus. Every amenity I could have needed was provided, and it was apparent that Patrick and Kathy have put a lot of thought into their Airbnb space.

It's a super nice stay. Patrick and Cathy are very kind host. When I got there first time, Patrick show me this lovely place. The location is fantastic and only 20mins walking to the headquarter of (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). Next time, i will book this place again.

Patrick and Cathy are awesome hosts. The communication was easy. The room and the house itself are extraordinary. Everything was like described and they provided so many nice amenities that we just had a perfect stay. Way better experience than most of the hotels you will have been so far. Definitely worth a visit in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. We would definitely come back and stay again at their house.

Very warm welcome, and a very nice bedroom! I recommend staying in this place.

Patrick was a great host. I arrived late in the evening, but he was there to welcome me and make sure I knew my way around the place; even introduced me to the family dog. Accommodations were as described. Comfortable bed and spotless bathroom. Neighborhood was quiet and safe.

房子在湾区的核心地带,房子很新干净整洁,面积也很大。两位主人超好相处,也能感受到他们的用心。很遗憾只匆匆住了一晚,希望以后还有机会再见。

Staying with Patrick and Cathy was an absolute pleasure. They created a super nice and quiet refuge for their guests - we especially enjoyed the large, comfortable bed and the impeccable, private bathroom. We were welcomed warmly and shown everything upon arrival. There were snacks and bathroom amenities - both in quantity and quality way beyond what you would receive even in a top notch hotel! The location was perfect for visiting Palo Alto and Stanford. Fully recommend!

Lynette's Palo Alto Garden Cottage was a true oasis! It was the perfect respite after a long day and intense week of work. Lynette could not have been more accommodating and was flexible with my early arrival. I hope to be back in the Palo Alto area and will not hesitate to book with Lynette again. Many thanks to Lynette for a wonderful week and all the nice touches that made it such a wonderful stay!

Lynnette provides a beautiful detached living space for guests. The location is very convenient for those visiting Stanford and a beautiful neighborhood. The room is clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. She even provided a bowl of fruit!

I have stayed here countless times. Truly wonderful. Looking forward to returning on a future trip to Palo Alto. Highly recommend.

Very welcoming, clean and neat accomodatuon in a really beautiful neighborhood. I found fresh fruit and water and got prompt feedback and Instructions. About 15-20m walk from a restaurant strip, maybe the main inconvenience, but overall well worth spending seberal nights.

Lynette was a fantastic hostess, making sure I had everything I required (information and amenity-wise) that I needed during my stay. The space is wonderful - plenty of space and it feels very cozy because of the beautiful decor. The neighborhood is a quiet one, within easy (10 mins) walking distance of Cal Ave. I really loved my stay here.

Lynette's garden cottage is in a great neighborhood, conveniently located a short walking distance from my office. The cottage appears newly renovated, and was clean and tidy. It's a quiet neighborhood, across from a park. I look forward to staying here again on future visits.

Lovely little place and neighborhood.

Perfect cottage for one or two persons visiting Stanford University. Walking distance to the campus, yet set on a quiet street in a lovely neighborhood. The cottage is beautifully appointed. Parking is easy. Check-in and out was a breeze. Can't do better in Palo Alto.

I stayed at Cynthia's place for one night. The neighborhood is quite and safe, close to highway. Cynthia prepared tea and breakfast cake for me. The room is clean, and the bathroom is opposite to the room. She's very warm-hearted, giving me tips about seeing San Francisco, and getting around the traffic.

Experience was great.

Cynthia was a great host! Super friendly and has a really cozy home. Also gave me some great suggestions for a few bites to eat close to town. Definitely recommended if you're passing through the San Francisco area!

Cynthia is a very friendly and warm host, and she is also very helpful. She offered to pick me up in the late evening and drop me at the train station at the early morning. Also she took me to buy dinner outside together. The place is nice, clean and LOVELY. I love her pets too. Cute cat! I would like to come back again if there is a chance.

While I didn't meet her during my stay, she texts back anytime.

Cynthia's place was very good; convenient and well maintained.

Cynthia is a warm & welcoming hostess with a charming house in a great location. If you like animals, hers are also very friendly & welcoming, but not in the least obtrusive. Great experience!

I had a last minute change of plans and needed a place to stay. So I wrote to Cynthia at 5:15 pm and she wrote back by 6:30 pm - super responsive! The apt is nice and accurately described. When I asked Cynthia about some dinner options in the neighborhood, she graciously offered to drive me to downtown San Mateo. We had an excellent Vietnamese dinner. In the rush to head to my meeting the next morning, I managed to forget my pair of glasses. She responded that evening to coordinate me picking up the glasses. Overall an amazing host!

Loved my stay here, host had left out fresh grapes (delicious) and other snacks which was thoughtful as I got in late at night. Was a large space and well laid out with a very comfy bed and nice light. Was very close to (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) campus and by staying here I got to skip a few exists worth of 101 traffic in the morning which was great. Next time may even just walk to (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) campus as it was close enough

This guest house and the hideaway are incredible. Really this place deserves 10 out of 5 stars. Cathy thinks of everything and the place is well stocked, so quiet and perfectly located on Menlo Park. The bed was incredible. All around it's hard to imagine a better AirB&B location. I just hope it's available for my next trip!

Awesome place, highly recommend

Patrick和Cathy是我见过的最好的Airbnb房东,房子非常整洁干净,还贴心地准备了很多零食和水。非常喜欢!

Patrick and Cathy's home is centrally located to Silicon Valley, and provides easy access from SFO. Their home was very clean, had modern furniture, and was accommodating for my short trip. Would definitely stay there again.

Patrick and Cathy's place is amazing! It was extremely beautiful, clean, and comfortable to stay in. Patrick provided us with everything we needed, from snacks to blow dryer, and was very friendly and hospitable. They even provided a sample bottle of pillow mist (that smelled incredible!!) I'd absolutely recommend Patrick and Cathy's place to other visitors!!

Patrick and Cathy were really great. Their home is spotless and spacious. The comforter was SO soft, I don't even know how to explain it. Very accommodating, and they left snacks in the room for me. The Wi-Fi is quick and a 10 minute walk to building 20 at (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). Great neighborhood, saw lots of young kids playing.

Patrick communicated with me and greeted me - he could not be any more charming or gracious. Their home is perfect - the setting was comfortable and immaculate. And they clearly put thought into even the smallest details - from the bathroom and ties like shampoo and beautiful towels, to snacks and water in the room. Great home, great location. This is a winner all the way around. Thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate it.

highly recommend patrick and cathy's home. patrick was welcoming and a gracious host. the accommodations were lovely and the bed was incredibly comfortable. i arrived with a migraine and woke up feeling wonderful. i expect to be visiting menlo park in the coming months and hope to stay here again.

This was a very nice upstairs bedroom and hall bath. Cathy and Patrick thought of everything a traveler would need.

We're here for just a night. Place is exactly as advertised. Extremely clean and very well maintained. Communication with the hosts was great too. Had a wonderful stay!

Highly recommend. This was my second stay at Jackie's place. It's a great location and very friendly hosts. They filled special requests like an ice bucket and milk for my morning coffee. The room is right off the main patio of the house, so there is some noise as the owners move about their property. I stayed in summer and needed to leave all windows/doors open to cool the room off - which impacted privacy. When I stayed, the adjoining AirBnB room was off the market, so I essentially had a whole studio apt to myself!

The room was perfect. Very calm and with a great location. However, Jackie is the main differentiator. She was always there to help and make you feel at home.

Excellent experience!! I stayed almost one full week and I can say without any reservation that Jackie and Sebastian were wonderful hosts and the accommodation provided was outstanding! This being my first AirBnB experience, I wasn't sure what to expect, but Jackie met me in person upon my arrival and she immediately made me feel welcome. After meeting her, I knew this would be my "home away from home", where I could have privacy as needed, or reach out for interesting conversation if I wished. My room was even better than I expected and the amenities provided were outstanding...fresh fruit, bottled water, creamer, toiletries (even new toothbrushes were available). I rented both of the rooms on this property for the weekend during my friend's visit and it was PERFECT. The beautiful neighborhood is great for walking and taking in the indigenous trees as well as the gardens on the properties of each interesting mid-century modern home. Owners proudly display unique individuality and their own quirky personalities in subtle (or not so subtle) ways which you can observe from the sidewalks. There is a famous coffee shop (Philz) just around the corner which is a must see! The line at Philz is always long, but never slow. Jackie and Sebastian have great recommendations for everything local, but they are also very conscientious of their guests' boundaries. They will not seek you out to offer information unless you have asked. No hotel at which I've ever stayed has topped this in regard to providing the comforts of home, personal and interesting concierge service, along with a sense of family belonging! This was my first AirBnB stay, and after my experience, I will definitely go this route again. Thank you, Jackie and Sebastian! I hope to see you again soon.

Enjoyed my stay in this mid-century modern home for a quick business trip. Had a nice discussion about the owner's restoration of the home. Quiet neighborhood in a perfect location for my needs.

Very nice room. Private. The bed was comfortable and I had everything I needed for my stay. I would come back and stay again. Thanks.

I stayed with Jackie twice during my recent trip to Palo Alto. Everything was great—the room, the parking, communication with the host, etc. Thanks for everything, Jackie. I hope to see you next time I'm in the area.

Jackie was a great host - excellent communications and coordination, the room is beautiful (photos represent it very well), great peaceful location in Palo Alto. Would definitely make this my go to location for Palo Alto visits.

Jackie and Sebastian have a very positive attitude, they are helpful and friendly. My room was like a living room with couch TV and much space and everything was tidy and well prepared, when I arrived. It's a quiet neighborhood, but additional transport is needed (or Uber, what I used). Would stay there again! Thanks a lot!

This is an incredible value for the Silicon Valley area. Easy freeway access, privacy, kitchenette, quiet, nicely tucked away behind Maria's house so feels very sheltered and secure. The place was very clean with nice linens and towels. Maria was very nice. Her set-up makes coordinating arrival and departure times easy. I would stay here again if I was in the area.

I had a great stay at Maria's studio! It was exactly as described and the location is great. Super comfy and cozy! I'd definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.

My host was gracious. The was surprisingly nice. It had cable TV and the bed was comfortable. The room felt almost new and was very clean. The price was unbeatable. My experience was very nice and I would stay there again.

This is my second stay with Maria. She goes out of her way to ensure I'm safe and happy. Her place is spotless and comfortable! This is my go to place when I'm working in Bay area!A+

Clean and private. Perfect for a single professional.

Great AirBnB space! I never met Kat as everything was all in the details of the email. Once you get access to the unit the keys were inside, wifi information was provided in the email, and everything in the unit was as described. There wasn't a need for me to reach Kat or anyone at the house since everything was already in the unit. The studio was VERY clean, comfortable, and safe. Probably one of the best AirBnB place I have stayed to date. The only issue is finding street parking at night, it can be challenging to find a space close to the house.

I had a very good 4-day stay with Maria. The room is separated from the main house and has it's own entrance, so it has high-privacy. During my 4 day stay there, I don't think I've ever seen anyone else there. Although it's separated from the main house, it has a mini-kitchen with sink, stove, refrigerator, and microwave, though I didn't use the kitchen at all. The neighborhood is quiet and great for relaxing. Parking is on the street so if you come home late, you may have to park further. Two things that travelers should be aware: 1. The shower is kind of small. (Think of showers on cruise ships if you've been to one.) If you are a bigger person, taking a shower could be a hassle. 2. There wasn't a hair dryer available even though it was listed on airbnb. It wasn't really a big issue for me as I am a guy with short hair, but if you are relying on certain items being provided, definitely check with the host to make sure she has them. All in all, this place is great for the attractive price and I'd recommend it.

Maria's place is perfect for any traveler! Would recommend to anyone!

I strongly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a clean, quiet and convenient place to stay.

A very lovely home with a beautiful pool. Vicki was a perfect hostess and very helpful. Everything was clean and had everything we needed. Only negative was having to share a bathroom--was awkward for me. Loved her baby grand piano, and I sat down and played it for awhile which brought me great joy.

Vicki's place was great with a separate room room and very comfortable bed. I enjoyed a nice run in the park right outside the house. Vicki was a very friendly and welcoming host and certainly recommend staying with her.

Stayed here on business for the night. If you are looking for secluded, residential, this is it. If you are looking for something walking distance to restaurants and shops, this is NOT it. Clean and quiet, it's a nice spot to enjoy. Only thing I wish she would have had would have been a fan. When I stayed, it was in the 90s and it was warm in the room. They do have a pool and hot tub to enjoy, but forgot the swim trunks! Vicki and Pascal were welcoming and unfortunately did not get a chance to chat with them at length, as I was only there for the night and left early the next morning.

Vicki's communication was very professional and friendly. The room was very inviting. All the little extras that she provided were icing on the cake. If I had stayed another night, I'd have taken her up on using the pool.

What a great experience! Vicki and her husband could not have been more hospitable. Great house, clean, great bedrooms, right next to hiking trails and a short drive to Redwood City!

Wonderful, quiet and cozy place to stay. Definetly recommend. Excellent value for money.

We had a great time at Vicki and Pascal's house. Communication was great. The room is better than a five star hotel! It was more than clean and full of cute attentions. The house is lovely and the neighborhood is beautiful and very calm. Highly recommended.

Great experience.:)

Great place. Nice people. Very attentive.

great place to stay! stayed here an extended period of time over the summer and it was great. there's plenty of parking on the property. our room was much larger than expected and had its own bathroom, which was perfect for sharing between 2 people. Igor and Tatiana were very generous in allowing us to use their kitchen and the common areas. would recommend!

Good value,

Awesome place..Also best host I ever met via airbnb...

The room is large and has a large private bathroom. While there is off street parking it can be challenging. The room was very warm and we had to ask to have air conditioning set up in the room, once set up it kept the room cool. We noticed ants in the room and found lots of ants in the kitchen and hallway, once we made the caretaker aware of the problem they sprayed and it seemed to work. Other than those issues the room was clean and worked for what we needed.

The host canceled this reservation 113 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

My family had a nice stay at Tatiana's! Very easy to check in and communicate with the host.

Amazing. Wonderful kingsize very comfortable bed, great location, lovely breakfast and the sweetest most wonderful host you can imagine. She even arranged a cab for me to get too the airport. You will not be disappointed.

The house is beautiful and Lisa is the host everybody would like to meet. The two will make staying an amazing experience.

Although Lisa was away for the weekend, her home and dog Julia made me and my boyfriend feel right at home. Her home is located in a perfection location for taking the train into San Francisco and is warm and inviting. Our bedroom was clean and adorably decorated and Lisa left us a welcoming gift of wine and chocolate covered cashews. We felt free to come and go as we pleased and really enjoyed our trip due to the comfort experienced at Lisa's home. We hope to come back again one day! Thank you Lisa!

Oh, it is a beautiful and convenient house, everything is so nice. We have spent three days here, Lisa made different breakfast for us. She's so nice. We will miss you.

Great place to stay, will come back again! Also Lisa is a wonderful host and pays a lot of attention to details.

Lisa is just wonderful! I'm so glad that I spent the first night after a long flight at her home. She made me feel very comfortable and welcomed me with a warm hug. Her Home is so beautyful - I loved it! And the breakfast, Lisa prepares in the Morning is amazing. The location is wonderful. I highly recommend this place! Lisa is a great host. Thanks, Lisa! :)

Lisa has been a perfect host. Her house is perfectly located if you need to reach the airport or if you want to travel to Palo Alto. Restaurants are all over the place and it is a short distance to Caltrain. Lisa cares a lot for her guests and allways has some good advice.

Lisa created such a charming, lovely and cozy Home. I felt very comfortable and pleasant. In addition she provided every morning great breakfast which I enjoyed together with the cute dog and cat in the sunny backyard. Lisa is a very positive, joyful and fun person to talk to. We shared our thoughts and ideas. That was California at it's best! I hope we stay in touch and meet again!

The home Alex hosts is lovely and very clean. Beautiful neighborhood close to the freeway.

My family had a great stay with Alex, he was very accommodating and responsive.

Very flexible when checking in and reliable. Convienent location to explore the Bay Area.

Alex is very caring and took extra time to make a restaurant recommendation as well as making sure we had everything we needed!

Great as usual.

Alex's home is beautiful and both he and his wife are very hospitable. Will definitely consider staying here again.

Nice room and bathroom, terrific hosts.

**Beautiful neighborhood and conveniently located to Stanford University **Gorgeous house with a lovely garden out back (wish I had more time to enjoy it out there)
