First of all, Laurel is an exceptional host. She met me in person for check-in and gave me a tour which I appreciated-- it was a nice personal touch. She is a clear and thorough communicator via AirBNB message, quick to respond and also provides a binder on tips/suggestions for your stay in Menlo Park!

Laurel's cozy studio is special-- a wonderful home away from home. It's the perfect accommodation for extended stays and is such a great value for the area complete with kitchen supplies and washer/dryer in the garage. I had been looking into the studio a month prior to starting a new contract job, but it was already booked! Therefore, when my contract was extended in August I immediately booked it to stay from October without any hesitation. It was conveniently close to Stanford (about 30 min walk one way) so I never had to drive nor purchase a parking pass for work. The studio is also 15 min walk away from CVS/Starbucks/Safeway and 30 min walk away from downtown Menlo Park (check out Mademoiselle Colette for French pastries). I wish everyone the best in booking this place!
