This location is wonderful for downtown Palo Alto and Stanford. You can walk to Caltrain and the free Stanford shuttle buses, which was big for me. The appliances and furniture are on the older side--reminded me of grad school days-- but everything I needed was there. It is comfortable and quiet, with plenty of parking. Lighting is excellent. Having a commercial-size washer and dryer on-site is very helpful for a longer stay, but bring lots of quarters.
