Baris´s house was my home for two months in Menlo Park. If you are looking for the perfect quiet place nearby Stanford, this is the one. It takes only 40 minutes to get to the University by walking, but if you feel lazy you can take Stanford´s bus at the stop which is a couple of block from the house. In case of requiring to shop groceries there is a Safeways three blocks from the house and also a CVS. The area is quite safe and the neighborhood very clean. During my stay, Baris allowed me to take over a comfortable living room next to my bedroom which was my office enjoying a perfect wifi signal. Of course, if you want to watch TV, you can choose among like 10 different cable subscriptions. I´ll miss it.
