Can't wait to return! I spent the entire month of November 2013 as a guest in this beautiful, sun-filled studio apartment. By the time I left, it felt very much like a second home. The flowers blooming outside my window, the hummingbirds in the garden, the lemon tree in the fountain courtyard and many other unique features, all helped to create a wonderful, restful experience. Laurel, Stephen & David were all very welcoming and helpful. Rarely did I have to ask for anything however because the apartment was so well appointed with just about everything I could have possibly needed during my stay. I acquired a bike my second day and enjoyed many rides on and off Stanford’s campus. The pedestrian bridge that connects Menlo Park and campus was a wonderful find and just minutes from the apartment. I often biked to the local Safeway and into the charming shopping district of Menlo Park. I did appreciate the parking space right by the steps to my apartment but I rarely used my car because the bike riding was such a joy. While I did have other family members join me during my month's visit, much of the time I was on my own. I felt very safe and secure in the neighborhood and on this property. It is extremely well maintained, well lit and private. While there is not a television or cable service in the apartment, high speed internet is included and was excellent for streaming any videos or programming that I needed to catch up on during my stay. Actually, I enjoyed the quiet and caught up on a good deal of reading in the comfortable chairs set by the windows. Truly, Laurel’s listings are rare finds and you should jump at the chance to stay here (if you can find an opening!) Thank you again Laurel... Hope to be back with you this spring! Judy Reihner
