I very much felt welcome in Baris' home, like part of the family. He welcomed me, and was flexible when me and my friend arrived at different times. He introduced us to his friends who were also staying the weekend, and also invited us to some cake made by his daughter. The place was close to Stanford which was a perk for us. I was able to go out for a run in the morning because the neighborhood is runner-friendly. All in all, a great experience!
