This was our second time in Alex’s house and it’s a really nice spot for a week in Menlo Park. The house is spacious and airy, with three generous bedrooms that would easily accommodate 6 people. Alex is very communicative and responsive to questions. The residential neighborhood is quiet and cute, right off Sand Hill Rd. and close to Stanford, the mall, and 280. Washer-dryer works great, backyard is big, driveway would park two cars easily.
A few things to know: There’s no AC—not a problem if it’s cool at night, as Alex provides lots of fans and opening the windows and circulating air for 10 minutes cools it right down. The house and fixtures are older so it is a bit basic rather than luxurious. The plumbing is also old so a bit persnickety. But plenty of hot water! All in all I recommend it.
