I run a start-up outside of the Bay Area and booked Rashmi's place for a business trip. We needed an affordable place for four men. The other 3 took the bedrooms and I took the coach. Our stay was perfect and this is why:

1. Rashmi is a great host. She let me ship some small supplies ahead of time to her home and had them waiting in the place when I arrived. She went above an beyond and provided some complimentary amenities that I didn't expect (water, wine, etc).
2. She's a great communicator. She was 1 step ahead of me from the time I booked the trip until the time we checked out.
3. The house is located very close to downtown Palo Alto. We were a 5 minute drive from great food and beverage and less than a mile off of 101 for quick access to points north and south.

Great value and great experience.
