Description de notre maison d'échange
Our 5 bed 3 bath home is located in midtown Palo Alto, arguably the heart of Silicon Valley, CA on a quiet cul-de-sac where the children of the neighborhood play together. Surrounded by lots of trees, our yard is a lovely place to relax or enjoy a glass of wine on the patio. The great room has a 12' wide door that seamlessly connects the inside dining area with the outside patio.
Remodeled in 2006, the home offers standard amenities. Wifi provided via several routers configured for teen inaccessibility. Built in surround sound speakers provide movie theatre sound in the great room. 3 washers & dryers; 2 dishwashers let the house do life work for you. The kitchen, equipped with microwave & 6 burner gas range, and oven. Many versions of pots/pans available for your cook-in needs.

Also available upon request are ceramic pizza stones, slow cooker, rice cooker, Vitamix, ice cream maker, waffle maker, popcorn popper. Grocery delivery available.
Palo Alto receives water from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir sourced from snow in the Sierra mountains so it is purely delicious. Even so, fridge filter gets it even cleaner. Hot water provided via natural gas fired Instahot water heater so regardless of the number of dirty bodies you need to wash, you never run out.

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
For the little people, there is a school playground and two city parks with play structures available within walking distance. One of those parks is home to a modest skate bowl. Down the street is a heated pool, tennis courts, and a toddler friendly zero entry pool with access made available by prior arrangement. Two coffee shops, two pharmacies, modest eateries, a grocery store, two banks, multiple nail/hair salons are all within walking distance so once you arrive, there is need for a vehicle only if you want to explore the peninsula. Of note => we are now landlocked during commute hours between the tech companies of Facebook to the north and Google to the south so be aware of the directions of commute as you make your exploration plans. In the summer, the nearest amusement park is Great America, 20 min. south. Summer concert venue, Shoreline Ampitheatre, is 15 min. south and accessible via bike paths adjacent to a water sanctuary. Door to sand is 50 min. if you head directly west to Half Moon Bay beaches, best visited together with a stop @ hole-in-the-wall breakfast joint, 3-Zero Cafe. Door to sand is 60 min. if you go to Santa Cruz boardwalk and Twin Lakes beaches. San Francisco is ~ 50 min. driving, 30 min. on the bullet train from Palo Alto's University station. Further afield, we are 4 hours to Yosemite, 2 hours from Napa Wine country, 2 hours from Carmel, 3 hours to the wild, iconic beauties of the Pacific coastline at Big Sur.
