Laurel & Steve are such gracious hosts! The apartment is spacious and had everything I needed for my 6-month stay. I was offered a private, on-site parking spot for my car which was great the get my car off of the busy road out front. The location is ideal; a ~5 minutes drive away from grocery stores, downtown Menlo Park, the Stanford Shopping Center, and Stanford University. I am a medical student completing my clinical rotations, so the location was perfectly located allowing for a ~10-15 minute commute to the VA in Palo Alto and a ~5-10 minute commute to the Stanford University hospital system. The apartment was clean and well prepared for my arrival, and appears just like it does in the photos. Laurel & Steve live on-site and were extremely generous, responsive, and kind during my stay but also gave me space and privacy. I highly recommend staying here and would love to stay with Laurel & Steve again!
