Guest house holiday rentals in Palo Alto

simply Laura's family are so wonderful hostess, beautiful persons and the house is very nice place, peaceful, beautiful and for my wife and I will be thinking to return again soon.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was really clean, comfortable, and best of all very quiet. Also, the neighborhood is great. We would definitely stay here again if we were to visit the area another time.

we absolutely loved Chantelise's cottage. It was our first flight with our 7 month old and the space was perfect. Our son lived the micro farm. Such a beautiful space. We will be visiting again!

My stay in Amy's home was relaxing, peaceful and comfortable. I loved the location - nested against the hills and so close to shops/restaurants. I loved walking the hills in the neighborhood and coming back to a quiet and comfortable space. You are in the backyard of the owners but they are friendly and respectful and the setting is idyllic.

Great location and stay. I was traveling with my wife and baby. Radhia was extremely understanding and flexible with check-in. The space itself was a little small for three but we made it work.

A lovely cottage in a backdrop of beautiful trees, birds, wildlife and a cute brook. It was very peaceful and calming. The bed was super comfy, and the cottage had everything we needed with lots of interesting furnishings from the owners travels. We explored San Francisco, Alcatraz and Berkeley. We left our car parked at the cottage and got Ubers… no need to worry about city parking or navigation! Laura was very responsive and we would definitely recommend this cottage.

This is the 3rd time I've had the pleasure of staying at this unit and it never disappoints. It is comfortable, roomy, and just perfect for my short business trips. They communicate well and are available to help if needed. I hope to come back!

We really loved staying in Eugene and Clare's studio. The location was perfect, and the studio itself was very clean and cozy with a lovely view of the garden. Eugene and Clare were excellent hosts, very friendly and responsive who obviously put a lot of thought into making the studio special. I hope to stay here again during future visits to MV!

The cottage was absolutely beautiful! Very accommodating and very clean and quiet. Arthur was the perfect host! Our only issue was the parking. We were in San Jose for a church conference that took place off of 1st Street near 237. We wouldn't get back to the cottage until after 10 p.m. so had to park a block or so away both nights. But, it won't stop us from returning. We will be back for next year's conference. Thanks again Arthur!

Yao was a perfect host. She was always responsive to my inquires and was very accommodating when I asked for an earlier check in. Yao Airbnb was very clean, in a quite neighborhood and just a short drive to Kaiser Santa Clara where I had an early morning appointment.

This spot is very well located, quiet, clean with everything you need. Very comfortable bedding. Very pleasant shaded patio. Marilynn is very friendly and responsive. An example, broken coffee maker changed within the next hour. We had a very good stay in this accommodation. Thanks again!

We loved our stay at Julie’s studio. It was such a beautiful space and perfect for our needs. The outdoor area is beautiful and the inside is cozy and so well put together. We enjoyed walking in the neighborhood to get delicious food. Would definitely stay again!

Second stay. Still loved it and look forward to staying again. Highly recommend

We stayed a week at the Digital Nomad Retreat visiting family and the redwoods. This Airbnb really is a stellar 5* retreat. We enjoyed the surrounding, of course, and the Airbnb is spotless and perfect. Robert is the perfect host and always a text away. I’m sure we will return to this quiet, adorable get-away in the trees.

We enjoyed our stay at Gregory’s cottage. Lovely neighborhood and convenient for our needs. Interior was clean with modern fixtures. Prompt communication. Thank you for being a wonderful host.

I’m native to Santa Clara and wanted a brief staycation to help get some focus time/R&R. Katie’s place was perfect for this! Great location, easy to check in and out. Katie was very responsive when I had questions during check in. Overall, I enjoyed my time and would definitely come back!

Sarah’s place was really cozy and quiet! We spent a lot of time in SF but it was really nice coming back to the cottage and sleep in the comfortable bed! We would definitely stay again. It wasn’t too far from public transportation and the view was amazing! The kitchen had everything we needed and we really enjoyed cooking breakfast and dinner with the view!

I had the absolute pleasure of staying in a beautiful cabin in La Honda, CA last weekend, and it was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. The cabin itself was cozy, peaceful, and surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the redwoods — the perfect escape from the city. What made the stay even more special were the incredible hosts. Devora and her husband who own the property were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their hospitality was genuine and heartfelt, and it really made all the difference. Whether you’re looking for a quiet retreat in nature or just a memorable weekend getaway, I can’t recommend this place highly enough. I left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already looking forward to coming back!

Perfect cottage, with a prime location. I stayed here for a week while on a work trip and it provided me with everything I needed. Thanks Gary !

I had a great three-month stay at this peaceful accommodation in Eric and Rebecca's garden while visiting Stanford Research Park. The hosts were incredibly kind, regularly checking in and offering helpful local suggestions. The space was quiet and tranquil and the sunny outdoor area made for perfect breakfast spots among the birds and fragrant flowers. Eric and Rebecca shared delicious oranges from their tree. The location is excellent – 15 minutes to San Antonio train station, with nearby bus stops, Safeway, etc. The free Palo Alto Link service to the research park is just five minutes away, making car-free exploration easy. Secure bicycle storage is available. The accommodation felt modern, clean, and well-maintained with great natural light, comfortable sleeping, and a functional workspace. The bathroom and shower were modern, and the kitchen included fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, and storage (no cooktop or oven). Perfect for long-term research visits – highly recommended!

Excellent stay! Flora was very responsive and friendly. I will be looking for Flora’s place next time I’m in San Jose.

This is our first Airbnb experience and we were glad we chose this place for our first stay. Rahil was a very-very responsive and kind host. We had a tiny bit of trouble first entering the property due to the locking system. I messaged Rahil and he quickly responded and fixed the lock and we were good to go for the rest of our stay. The place was spotless and very clean when we first entered. It is like having your own mini house with all the amenities you need even for a long stay. Everything was professional, instructions were clear, bed and sofa bed were comfortable. The area is super nice and private. It is like a 5 minute drive to Santana Row, Valley Fair Mall, and multiple restaurants. I had no problem keeping my car parked in front of the property and never felt like it was going to be a problem. Overall I would definitely recommend staying at this Airbnb and you are in good hands with Rahil.

Perfect little spot! The cottage was clean, well-maintained, peaceful, and had everything I needed to be very comfortable during my 3-night stay. The neighborhood is gorgeous -- I enjoyed getting outside for exercise every morning. Plus there are plenty of shops and restaurants close by. I would absolutely recommend this place and wish all Airbnbs were so good!!

This place was a very cute and peaceful retreat from the daily grind. I only stayed one night but it was everything I needed and expected. Clean and with all the amenities, great stay and I’d stay here again!
