Laurel and her husband were wonderful hosts. The apartment is very well located, near the Stanford campus and download Menlo Park/Palo Alto, in a very quiet environment. Clean and spacious, with amble space in the kitchen and in the living room. We were able to fit 4 adults and 2 children and it worked out very well. There were unfortunately a few issues with the Internet connection that were not our host's fault (but rather with the provider, ComCast) but things are getting fixed so this shouldn't be a problem next time we come up there, because we will choose Laurel again.
