I stayed with Leigh and EJ for a month whilst visiting Stanford University, I had a great time and they really made me feel at home and part of the family. The house is unique and full of character - as are Leigh and EJ!. The room is very quiet and relaxing, I particularly appreciated access to Netflix after a long day's work... The location is ideal for access to Stanford (ten minutes by bike or free shuttle bus), and the Caltrain station is about two minutes away for trips further afield. I... More »

Leigh and EJ were great hosts! Exceptionally accommodating and friendly, I had all the respect and privacy a guest could ask for. They have a great space with convenient access the Stanford campus, CalTrain, and downtown Palo Alto. They have thought of all the information that anyone would need for a stay in the area. And the cats were quite friendly and welcoming themselves! I had a wonderful time and look forward to the opportunity to stay again!
James

Absolutely wonderful hosts. They upgraded me to a better room, made every possible allowance. The space is wonderful, clean. More importantly, they're delightful, thoughtful people who it was a delight to converse with. You're missing out if you don't get a chance to meet them.
Faith

Leigh and EJ are great hosts: generous, friendly, but also respectful of their guests' privacy. The bedroom was great: spotlessly clean, very comfortable and homey. They have a cool house in a great location and genius cats to boot. I'd stay with them again in a heartbeat.
Carol

Leigh and EJ were wonderful hosts. The location of their home was great - close to Stanford campus, and lots of restaurants, etc. within walking distance. The room was quite comfortable and quiet. If the weather had been better, it would have been nice to sit out in the yard.
Brooke

Leigh and EJ are awesome! Their enthusiasm for each other, for Air BnB, for Palo Alto, and for entrepreneurship is a pleasure to behold. Unless you're completely swamped or they are too, try to make time to get to know these two.
Jainender

Leigh & EJ are very intelligent and fun loving couple. I had a very nice time and had lot of fun. They shared with me a lot of information and helpful tips. They took me for hiking also, it was fun. They shared their food, made nice teas and good warm breakfast. Very good location, a block from Caltran station . I am planning to go their again. JJ

I was on a four-day trip to Palo Alto this month and I stayed with Leigh & EJ. Their place is great - very cozy, full use of the kitchen, close to the train, near lots of restaurants, and a quick walk/bus to Stanford. They were wonderful hosts - very thoughtful & engaging, helped me get oriented to the area, made lots of great recommendations and they even took me hiking! Highly recommended!
Elizaveta

Clean, comfortable and big room with very nice small things. Thank you Leigh for your cordiality. There were all you need in the house, high level and quality of service, quit and calm place in Palo Alto. The bus stop, shops and restorants are next to the house. Best regards, Elizaveta

I spent 2 months there, and I can say that the experience was really great! Not only Leigh and EJ were absolutely correct and honest about what were set and dealt and what effectively happened, but I have to say that they were extremely helpful in everything one could need when traveling in other city or country. And I can easily follow some other rewiers when they say they left two friends there! ah, the location is just perfect!
