We really liked the airbnb Chris and Andrea provided in Mountain View. We had arrived for a workshop at Stanford University. It was an easy ~15 min ride away, on Uber or Lyft. The apartment is very good - it was clean and with everything one may need. It has a parking space associated with it, which we did not use, but it would be very convenient for visitors who rent a car. Andrea and Chris had explained exactly how to enter and what to do before we leave. The apartment is a walking distance from a Trader Joe's store, which we used several times, and we also discovered a great restaurant (Sajj Midetrranian) nearby. Other stores at a walking distance are Walmart, Target, and Kohl. Also, Mountain View is closer to the San Jose Airport than Palo Alto (where Stanford is), so the apartment was conveniently located between the airport and the workshop venue. This is an annual meeting for us, so next year we may seek to stay at the same apartment.
