Baris is a great host and the home is beautiful, well located for business at Stanford or SLAC. There is a small shopping centre with a Safeway nearby and downtown Menlo Park is very close with several restaurants.
While there is a large kitchen, I found it difficult to use. Several times the previous person left dirty dishes and tools making it difficult to work around and some of the tools/appliance have seen better days. Do take this with a grain of salt however, as my standards for kitchens are very high :)
Overall I appreciated the convenience and hospitality of the airbnb. I would recommend it for a short term stay.
