Steven was a very gracious host and made us feel welcome in every way. He went out of his way to accommodate our early arrival even though he himself was arriving from an out of town trip on the same morning. He gave us a wonderful orientation tour of our apartment (including three huge rooms) and fully equipped kitchenette w/ expresso machine) and of the other parts of the house (the kitchen, the yard, the patio, the hot tub and even two bicycles) we were welcome to use. There is a "user's manual" for the apartment. One of the three rooms has a large sofa (which also has a sofa bed in it) and a huge screen for viewing TV or movies. I have never seen a basement apartment that had so much light; the well windows are very unusual. There are so many thoughtful details in the apartment that made it the perfect place for me to stay with two of my graduate students. We were in town for a conference at Stanford. The location is just across from the Stanford athletic fields, half way between two shopping/restaurant areas that are within walking distance: Town and Country Mall and California Avenue. The house is lovely with Mexican tiles on the first floor and the neighborhood beautiful and quiet, with plenty of parking on the street, even though it is a block from El Camino Real. Steven was very helpful and thoughtful. He made us feel welcome and cared for. The apartment is just as described.
