    My wife & I stayed in this apartment in June 2020 for 6 nights while we were visiting family in the area. The apartment was very clean and well furnished. It is on University Ave, but set well back from the street so it was very quiet and secluded. Location is great...easy walking distance to downtown Palo Alto and fairly close to Hwy 101 when one needs to get on the freeway. Ana Luisa was very responsive and easy to work with, answering questions quickly and offering suggestions. We’ll definitely be back!…
