My family of four stayed at Alambique for part of the week. It was a very relaxing stay. Simon lives upstairs and kept in contact with us any time we needed some information. He's very friendly.
The place is in the Woodside Hills, and the backyard overlooks the Menlo Park area. You can see the bay, and the sunrise is beautiful. We walked 20 minutes from the house to reach a hike in the woods. Great location. I got to do my exercises in the backyard each morning looking down at the great scenery.
The place is very clean, nice large bathroom and lovely kitchen. Simon left some organic apricots for us to enjoy. It has all the amenities for cooking - even a spice rack and a spacious fridge. The TV is equipped with Chromecast so you can use the TV with your laptop.
This is a really nice place for a secluded stay, but it is still a short commute to Stanford.
