This apartment is a good size for a family with two kids as it has three beds in two bedrooms. It's well situated in a residential area of Menlo Park, one town over from Palo Alto and Stanford, and close to the Caltrain station (to go to San Francisco). The only issue is the thin walls, but even though we could hear the neighbors and the train horn it wasn't a big deal -- but bring ear plugs just in case!
