The apartment is well located - it is close to Stanford, the California Ave with some restaurants and grocery shops, and also the train station is close by. The little yard is also great to have. However, the apartment was not at all prepared when I arrived (no towels, no internet, heating not working etc.), and it took a while and some discussions until most of these issues have been resolved (For instance, I was first told I could clean the aparment and dishes myself) . It is not very warm in the winter, and it was dirty - all in all, it was sub-European standard. But nevertheless, the price seems to be OK for this area.
