Catherine's place is everything you need and she is a great host! You get a big bedroom with a comfy bed and a private bathroom with floor heating. Catherine makes you feel at home and you are free to make use of the amenities in the house. The place was nice, warm and quiet and Catherine was very helpful and nice to talk to. She has two lovely dogs that I played with a lot.
She provided me with a bike and everything you might need (Stanford University, train station, supermarket) is within 15 minutes cycling at most. She even arranged a taxi for me to the airport which was extremely punctual.
Overall I highly recommend Catherine place for anyone who has any type of business in the area.
