I have to say, my experience staying with Monmi and Bhaskar in their Palo Alto residence was fantastic. The family is very warm and friendly. The house is very nice and in a very safe location (obviously, it's Palo Alto!). The room was quite large, the bathroom was clean and the lighting was perfect. The private entrance and private terrace area was ideal for me. I stayed with them for 2 weeks and I couldn't have had a better experience. I look forward to my next visit!
