This was a great place to stay for a week of work on the Stanford campus: as advertised, it was walkable to the university and to downtown Palo Alto, and additionally buses ran nearby reliably and frequently. The room and the neighborhood were extremely calm and quiet. It is attractively furnished, with a hassle-free private entry. There's not much extra space--it's primarily a bedroom with a nice bathroom, but there's room to eat and relax outside if you were there for a less busy schedule than I was. Best of all, Nancy went out of her way to make this a nice stay, and was extraordinarily kind when I scrambled my own schedule and thought I was staying one more night than I was booked for; new guests were heading in, the cleaning service was there, and all my stuff was still in the room while I was on campus. Nacny very kindly removed my effects herself and then arranged to meet me so I could clear out; she even gave me a lift to the train station, when the whole mess was my own fault! In short, a comfortable, quiet, and convenient room and a marvelous host--highly recommended. (NB: I checked "family friendly" in the descriptions category because it is a purely residential neighborhood, but it would be a tight fit to add a baby or toddler to the room, and not appropriate for an older child who needs a separate sleeping space.)
