    This home is professionally managed. We are a friendly team of folks who look after this beautiful property while the owners are away. We ask you to keep in mind, this is a private home which the owner retreats to. We simply ask that you respect & take care of the property as if it were your own. Let that love flow.
    **We are available to you for standard check in times should you require any assistance from 4pm - 6pm. For after these hours we may be available for emergencies only and only then via Airbnb message app. We apologize if this causes any issues, but please consider this ahead of booking. Likewise, please advise us before traveling, on your estimated time of arrival so we can accommodate if possible.

    We are close to everything, including anything on Stanford University campus (can walk to stadium); walk to downtown Palo Alto; walk to CalTrain to access any point on Peninsula: frequent trains between San Jose and San Francisco.
    Great food and great coffee is just 5 minutes away from the home. Perfect location!

    AIR CONCIERGE
    House Rules and Requests

    These are the house rules and requests for this home, managed by Air Concierge, Inc. for the homeowner. Please read them before you book — by booking, you agree to follow the house rules for this stay.
    If you booked anywhere other than Airbnb, your reservation is also governed by the Air Concierge Rental Agreement you sign before check-in, which controls if it conflicts with these Rules.
    Stricter HOA, city or permit rules control where they apply. Where a law or a documented HOA/building rule requires a signed form, an ID check, or other paperwork for this home, that requirement is disclosed in this listing before booking.
    Airbnb`s own policies control between you and Airbnb. Nothing in these Rules asks you to pay a fee for a cleaning or checkout task, and Airbnb does not enforce these Rules — if there is damage or an extra documented cost from a stay, we will raise it through Airbnb`s Resolution Center with documentation.

    IF SOMETHING ISN`T RIGHT — TELL US FIRST
    This is a privately owned home, not a hotel. No staff are on site. It is cleaned and inspected before you arrive, and things change between a morning clean and an afternoon arrival.
    Message us as soon as you notice anything. We use best efforts to respond in real time and to start work as fast as we can; some repairs need a part or a licensed trade and take longer.
    If we fix it, or give you a reasonable workaround, within a reasonable time, no refund or credit is due.
    If a problem makes the home unfit to occupy or removes a major part of its use, and we cannot fix or substitute it in a reasonable time, we credit the nights actually affected, offer comparable accommodation if available, or reschedule.
    Please don`t leave without telling us. We can`t credit a problem we were never given a chance to solve.


    WHAT WE DON`T REFUND FOR — examples, not a complete list
    Insects, spiders, webs, rodents, wildlife and birds native to the area, and pest treatment. Wind, dust, sand, pollen, ash, smoke, haze or debris, including on decks, patios, furniture, pools and spas. Weather of any kind, and the travel conditions it causes - snow on the road, chain controls, delays, or a drive you would rather not make. If a government order closes the only access route so that you cannot reach or occupy the home, that is handled under force majeure below. Seasonal changes to views, foliage, water levels, snow, lake or beach conditions, or landscaping. A missed housekeeping detail found after arrival - a dish put back not fully clean, a missed spot, a stray hair. Ordinary wear, minor marks, dated furnishings, or decor differing from photos where the home is substantially as described. Noise, light or activity from neighbors, construction, road work, traffic, aircraft, agriculture or community events. Slow, intermittent or reduced internet, Wi-Fi, cable, streaming or cellular service. Speed and performance are not guaranteed and no home is guaranteed suitable for streaming, gaming or video calls. Interruption of any utility or service caused by the provider, including public safety power shutoffs. Amenity items - Wi-Fi, TV, BBQ, fireplace, game room, a small appliance. HOA, city, resort or utility restrictions and closures. Scheduled maintenance, landscaping, pool service or vendor visits. Illness, changed plans, work, flight delays or non-arrival.
    None of the above is a force majeure event, however it is described. Force majeure applies only where an order or a physical impossibility prevents you from reaching or occupying the home - a mandatory evacuation order, a government order closing the home or the only access route to it, loss of safe access, or an uncurable loss of an essential utility - and the remedy is a credit for the nights occupancy was impossible. Bad driving conditions, a road that is slow or requires chains, and a decision not to travel are not force majeure.

    WHAT TO EXPECT — LOCAL AND SEASONAL CONDITIONS
    We disclose all of the following for every home we manage, whether or not any of it happens during your stay, so that none of it comes as a surprise.
    Neighborhood. These are privately owned homes in real neighborhoods, not resorts. You may encounter dogs barking, roosters and other animals, landscaping crews and leaf blowers, pool and spa service, trash and recycling collection, construction and remodeling, road work, traffic, delivery vehicles, aircraft, sirens, church and school bells, street parking pressure, neighbors` gatherings, and community events. Some homes sit near beaches, ski areas, golf courses, marinas, agricultural land, flight paths or main roads, each with its own noise, light, traffic and seasonal activity.
    Insects and wildlife. Every region has them and they are seasonal. Depending on the home and the time of year you may see spiders and webs, ants, bees and wasps, moths, flies, mosquitoes, scorpions, lizards, geckos, rodents, raccoons, coyotes, deer, birds nesting in eaves, and marine or lake life. Homes near water, forest, desert or open land see more of it. We treat and monitor on a schedule and we will respond if something is out of the ordinary, but their presence is normal and expected.
    Air, wind and dust.

Overall a comfortable stay. We had need of more adult sleeping arrangements. There are two bedrooms that accommodate adults, but small beds. Additional sleeping areas are in a converted garage, which our housemates indicated was not well insulated (can get hot/cold with changing weather).Overall, a nice place and excellent location close to amenities in Palo Alto. Would stay again with a small family or couple. As four adults, we made it work.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
House was filthy with grease, insects, etc. Filled with the home owners toys, clothes, food etc. They moved out that morning so they could make money off of us. Tons of broken, filthy or tired items from appliances to drains and toilets to dishes etc.They did communicate but every 3-5 days and then stall to drag it out to NOT do anything. Like, havi g door dash send liquid draino after a week, and a real plumber 10 days later who came in when my wife was alone, asleep. Didn't knock, just had the key. Unannounced, 2 men with my sleeping wife! Insane!! *Landlord asked us to leave the key for the plumber and we didn't so they just came in anyway, at 7am because they felt like it.We got ripped off. Thoroughly dissatisfied and disappointed. We paid premium pricing for low grade housing. Feel scammed. Now, it was a real home, decent location and wasn't disease ridden, just totally under cleaned, not maintained etc. It's not a professionally managed, operated or working property. It's a university faculty member making impromptu money off of unsuspecting renters.
