David is a terrific host. We felt very comfortable in the house and guest room. We were given access to the kitchen and their new appliances except for the brand new stove. The back yard is beautiful with a running water feature, shady places to sit, and hot tub. Across the street is a strip mall including a very good market and small bakery. It is close to Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Stanford University. We didn't even rent a car; we just used LYFT and Caltrain to get to where we wanted to go. We would definitely return next time we plan to be in the area.
