I stayed here on very short notice in order to meet with some surgeons that were going to be doing brain surgery on my minor son at Stanford.
Angela's place was very clean, the bed was comfortable, there were plenty of outlets, the private bathroom was clean and had really fluffy towels. Also there was a desk to use as a workspace, a bookshelf, a large closet with hangers and more.
The only difficulty I had during the stay was getting a hold of Angela initially. I called the number but was asked via text to call a different number. Not sure what that was all about, but at the end of the day I got through to Angela and once I got through everything went really smooth. She even sent me photos of the entry.
On two occasions Angela went out of her way to help me out.
The first was that since it was a room in a shared house, she took the time to leave a note on the door of the room I'd be staying in so I wouldn't confuse it with another person's room. The room had an individual key for security as well as an automatic gate opener for the parking. I really appreciated that as I was very tired coming in very late from the hospital.
The second and even more important was that my son's surgery was postponed. So instead of staying the full time that I had booked, I only ended up staying one night. I put in an alteration request to the listing. Angela had a bit of difficulty approving it online, but she went the extra mile to contact AirBnB after my stay and approve the refund for the nights I didn't stay. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that. With my son's surgery finances are really stretched thin. Angela approving the refund for the nights I didn't stay really blessed me.
The house is on a relatively quiet street very close to Stanford. I didn't do much exploring of the area, but it seemed like a nice and safe neighborhood. I felt comfortable and secure in the home. I would definitely book this room again if I had to fly back out by myself.
The value and location of the room is really what makes this such a great listing!
