This was an impeccable Airbnb experience. The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood near Stanford campus (~10 minute walk; yes there is a traffic light nearby to make crossing El Camino Real easy). Spencer and his family had every last little touch taken care of: check-in was a breeze, the basement apartment was immaculate upon arrival, we got step by step instructions on how to operate the projector/tv/stereo, and there were snacks, drinks, and coffee all waiting for us in the mini fridge. The basement has its own entrance which we used most of the time, but the family made us feel very welcome by saying we were free to enter though the upstairs as well.
I honestly don't have a single negative thing to say about the experience, I will honestly try to stay here every time I come back to Palo Alto in the future.
