Positives regarding our stay in Menlo Park: 1--Kevin, the house concierges, was superb to deal with. He communicates instantly and is very helpful. 2--The house is roomy. 3--The A/C and Heating work well. 4--The location is convenient to Stanford University, Palo Alto, Menlo Park and even the drive to San Francisco is fairly convenient. 5--There is a large back yard / patio area. (However see the caveat under Negatives regarding this area.) Negatives: 1--This is an owner occupied house. While the Airbnb listing notes this; we were not prepared for, nor expecting all the clutter everywhere. It seemed the owner had just walked out of the house 10 minutes before we arrived. For example, food and drinks are in the refrigerator. One is not sure if the prior guest left them or they are not to be touched. 2--There are no chairs or tables out and available to utilize for the backyard. The Airbnb site notes these items are under cover and you must clean them. Okay, we expected to have to dust them off. In reality, they are under a filthy tarp and other items are stored on the table and chairs. There is caked dirt, leaves and gunk all over these items. The table is impossible to uncover. We managed to remove three chairs--one to use a "stand" for our drinks and snacks. It took me a half an hour to clean them sufficiently to use. What is the use of having a huge back yard for a Summer stay and not really being able to enjoy it because there is no where to sit and no table to use? This house is not cheap....guests should not have to undergo this type of effort to merely be able to sit outside. 3--We use quite a few Airbnbs. I want hosts to succeed so the public has many options as to where to stay. I almost always write very positive reviews. But it would not be fair to others who may want to stay here if I wasn't honest about this place. The owner needs to move full time into the house. Or, rent it out full time. Or if they really want to rent it out periodically they need to have someone de-clutter and thoroughly clean and rearrange the house so renters can use much more storage space in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. For those contemplating staying here, you have been warned!
