Valentin's studio in Menlo Park was exactly as described. Very private, clean, and well resourced for our stay with them. It was especially convenient given we had our small Golden Retriever with us -- a private grassy area and comfortable accommodations for all. Valentin was nice enough to bring us some (amazing) plums from his tree in the backyard which helped us feel right at home. I cannot recommend this studio any more for anyone coming through Silicon Valley or looking to directly engage with the Stanford campus and neighborhood.
