I had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was perfectly located across the street from Stanford, as I was attending a workshop on campus. The neighborhood is delightful and safe. It took me about 30 minutes to walk to University Ave shops and restaurants, which was an easy walk given the good weather and nice surroundings. Check-in and out were a breeze given the electronic keypad. Sruthi was even kind enough to offer me late check out since there was not a guest checking in on the same day that I was leaving and I had a very late flight out of SFO that evening. I didn't do any cooking but the kitchen was very well equipped. I appreciated all of the thoughtful touches - recommendations for where to eat, tea and coffee, iron and ironing board, hangers in the closet, bags for groceries, space heater and extra blankets, de-humidifier, etc. The place is just as pictured and described. I would definitely recommend this for any solo traveler who is visiting Stanford!
