I stayed in a different room in Mei Lin's beautiful house in Palo Alto. It's VERY convenient to the Palo Alto Caltrain station, downtown PA, and also Stanford University. Mei Lin and Ross also have made their home very cozy and homey. The room I stayed in is in the basement and the basement was shared with 3 other occupants. All of us shared one bathroom, which was not an issue at all, but you do hear people showering in the morning. The rooms are clean :) Mei Lin is also a very lovely lady!!
