DANGEROUS couldn’t even stay
I have been with VRBO for many years but this is a dangerous property to stay at. We couldn’t even check in as it was a scary area to get out. Furniture on sidewalks turned upside down, bars on windows, garbage in the street. Parked cars on lawns. It was very unsafe and we could not stay there. Felt scared to get out of our rental car. Also the manager just said oh well contact VRBO never ever addressed the misrepresentation about a lux stay? Completely blown away by how we felt swindled after flying for 6 hours and going to a weekend graduation only to find a completely different place than any lux type of a stay. Someone could get mugged or worse be killed there. We paid $2k and wanted some back but never even got a reply from the manager. Very unprofessional and total rip off! Please be very aware that it’s not at all lux.

We needed a longer term pet friendly rental in the area and were relieved to find this. The managers were communicative and helpful via text when things were needed. Thanks for the help!

A nice place to stay near everything
This clean 3 bedroom home is near everything in the Palo Alto area. It’s located off 101 & University within walking distance of shopping and a short drive to downtown, Stanford and pretty much anywhere in Silicon Valley.
