Alicia is lovely and incredibly hospitable. The cottage is clean, well stocked with appliances, and in a location ideal for those working in Menlo Park or Palo Alto.
Note for those wishing to stay with Alicia: the cottage is beautiful, but does not have AC and can get a bit warm in the evenings (Alicia does provide fans, though!). Additionally, light sleepers be advised: the cottage is quite close to train tracks (however, I believe the earliest train is around 7am, so if this is an issue, just bring earplugs). :)
Thanks again, Alicia!
