I've had a very good time at Annelene's house in Menlo Park! The room is bright and spacious and super clean, the (shared) livingroom and kitchen are big and tastefully furnished, and there are many nice and comfortable places outside on the terrace and porch and in the garden. The kitchen and bathroom are fully equipped with everything one may need, and one can easily feel completely at home at Annelene's place. The neighborhood is nice, quiet and safe, and it's about 30min by bike to campus from there. Annelene and her daughter are extremely nice and forthcoming, and staying with them was a great pleasure. I can highly recommend the place and will hopefully be back there soon myself!
