My wife and I came to Palo Alto from Sweden for a half-year stay beginning in September 2013. With previous knowledge of the California Avenue area and access to the photographs posted online, we were sure this housing solution would suit us well and felt confident signing the lease. We were not disappointed. Tastefully decorated and fully equipped, this furnished flat made our extended stay a pleasure. On the few occasions we needed assistance, the owner was quick to respond. A year later, we returned for a second stay, beginning just before the holidays and lasting through the spring. Again the landlord was responsive to our needs and exceeded our high expectations.
