Annelène was a great host and generously stayed up to greet us in person on our late (midnight!) arrival from the East coast. She was very welcoming and cheerful and communication was excellent before our arrival. The room and house are as pictured/described and exceptionally clean. We were very busy during our time in Menlo so did not have much time to visit with Annelène or the other guests, but enjoyed our brief interactions and felt comfortable to come and go as we needed. We would enjoy staying here again!
