Andy's apartment rental was the perfect solution for my needs. I highly recommend it as a place to stay for 1 or 2 people visiting either Stanford University or needing to stay near Stanford Health while a loved one is in the hospital. The latter was the reason for my stay. I am thrilled that I decided to stay at this apartment attached to a family home instead of at a more institutional setting like a hotel (most of which in the area are not good enough quality, value or distance from Stanford) anyway). Andy's place is only 4-5 miles from Stanford Health (main hospitals) and was terrific value. He's updated it beautifully with lovely flooring and a cute table in the kitchen area that made for a great "work from home" desk while I was waiting for my loved one to get out of surgery.
Andy's communication and hospitality were incredible. He was compassionate and prepared to let me add a second night if my loved one needed to stay in the hospital longer than expected. He updated me several times in advance of my arrival. Check-in was super easy.
One funny note - Don't be a dummy like I was, LOL! Andy's house and the apartment are the SECOND from the corner... I was a little flustered after dropping off my loved one at the hospital and accidentally tried to get in through the gate of the wrong house! The video of me appearing to break in to Andy's next-door neighbor's house, which is a similar blue and has a similar style gate, may be on TikTok by now for all I know! Argh.
All is well now and I felt comfortable, welcome and private at this home.
