My husband and 14-year-old son stayed at Monmi & Bhaskar's place while they attended a soccer tournament in Palo Alto. The location was more than ideal -- they could walk to some of the venues. It was also convenient for going out to eat, shopping for sundries, etc. They found Monmi & Bhaskar & family to be very personable, kind, and respectful of their privacy. Monmi & Bhaskar were also great about communicating beforehand & were accommodating about a slightly later-than-ideal arrival time on their first night. My family's only quibble was about cleanliness: neither my husband nor son is a neat-freak at all, but both of them mentioned the room really could have been cleaner.
