I had a great stay in Menlo Park. The house is huge and fully equipped. The wifi is excellent, I could do my laundry and the kitchen is very large. My room and private bathroom were more spacious than expected and I had my own door to the large garden. Menlo Park is a very neat and quiet area and it is ten minutes by bike to the center of the Standord campus (40min walk). You can also run or walk from here to The Dish, which is a great place for a morning workout. Because I stayed here for work it was perfect, but for the weekends the area is in my opinion quite boring. Baris is a great guy. He contacted me regularly to make sure that I was doing fine, provided me with everything I needed, and he made sure that the house was always in a perfect condition. I cannot think of a better host than Baris.
