We had a nice time staying at Baris' house. It's a beautiful place and in a terrific location, particularly if you are interested in Stanford or Palo Alto. We happened to be there when it was very hot (up to 97 during the day), so the lack of air conditioning was a bit unpleasant at night. The house was clean (although I did suggest to Baris that he snake the bathroom drains, which were a bit slow). It was a very convenient place for us to visit for a long weekend for our son's graduation from Stanford Law School.
