Lynne was a great host, available but not intrusive. She lives upstairs so is easy to reach. This apartment is quiet, centrally located, close to downtown Menlo Park and Stanford. It's ideal for visiting businessmen like ourselves, or parents visiting Stanford students. Cheaper and homier than a hotel, assuming you don't mind sharing a bathroom. Kitchen setup is excellent for eggs in the morning or a toasted sandwich at lunch, there are laundry facilities and comfortable TV spot. 10-15 minute walk to downtown with restaurants and grocery stores.
