This room and house is extremely clean and well kept and the hosts are very responsive. Be warned that you will be sharing the space with at least 3 other people and the walls are very thin so any activity at night will be audible. Also the front patio light must be kept on all night and shines directly into this room, making it quite difficult to sleep. There is also a camera in the kitchen which makes it feel a bit like someone is always watching in the common area, not sure why they have this because there are plenty of security cameras outside the building for safety.
For reference the bus to Stanford takes about 20-30 mins plus 12 minutes of walking to campus. The bus to SLAC research facilities takes another 30 - 45 mins depending on what time of day. Be warned that the shuttle to SLAC does NOT run on the weekends, so there really is no way to get all the way to the research facilities without uber or a 50 minute walk from the bus stop in Palo alto.
