Everything about this experience was a treat! I was attending a conference at Stanford and thought I would take the shuttle everyday, but since Marlene's cottage was a nice walk to campus I chose that instead. The cottage was very comfortable and well stocked with all the amenities as well as that wonderful hot tub. Marlene is also a movie buff so I was thrilled to have many to choose from. As well, she is a world traveller and a great conversationalist. This was my first time using airbnb but now I'm spoiled!
