I had a great stay at MJ's while conducting research in Stanford's archives. This is the best-priced, nicest place to stay via Airbnb near the university. I'm a private person and this was my first time using Airbnb's shared home service (I have always booked private rentals previously). But this worked perfectly and was great for my budget. I had complete independence and never felt out of place in their home. The room itself is well kept. The bed is super comfortable. The bathroom is right next to the bedroom and is sparkling clean. I would stay here on a follow-up trip to Palo Alto!
