The place is located very close to downtown Menlo Park, shops, restaurants, everything is close by. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The Caltrain station is around the corner and allows easy travel to San Francisco or down coast. I was worried the train would be too noisy, but it actually does not run after 9 pm, so I slept soundly.
I stayed for several weeks and missed my own cooking. However, Susan loves to cook and likes to share...Do not hesitate to ask Susan for advice, she will happily give you advice and make you feel welcome.
