I wanted to love this apartment. Tony -- and his son -- are two of the nicest people you will ever meet. Tony was extremely accommodating when I wanted to check in an hour early, and instantly responsive when the Internet went down (Tony's son was over in 15 minutes, hassling with Comcast to get it fixed). The apartment was very clean and very quiet, the kitchen and bathroom appliances are new, the towels are fluffy, the bed is comfortable. The location can't be beat -- an apartment complex set back from one of the main streets in downtown Menlo Park. With just a few tweaks (a fan for hot days, replacing burned-out light bulbs for better light, patching screens so that you could open all the windows), it could be an absolutely wonderful venue.
