Overall a reasonably stay for an internship if it were at least 30% cheaper. Several things were broken when I arrived including the bathroom sink which I fixed myself, the bathroom mirror which hangs off a wall in a very strange way, and the TV which didn't work at accepting any hdmi signal.
The entrance and kitchen is shared but definitely not the cleanliest. The room has a private bathroom.
There was one time that I came home and I saw people working in the basement and I didn't think anything of it. I went to take a shower and was drenched in disgusting brown water. Kathy didn't whatsoever notify me that they were doing work on the plumbing that would affect my stay.
One of the other guests at a different room in the house got locked out one day and he had to ask me to help him because his phone was in the room. I spent 30 minutes on the phone and was late to work because Kathy was out of town and had no one who could help him get back in the room, so I had to figure much of the problem out by myself.
They did construction throughout a large portion of my stay. I was not notified about this in any way by Kathy.
Also for some reason I think the ventilation into the bedroom comes out from one of the other kitchens in the house. It meant there were frequent times when my entire room would smell unbearably like fish or some other thing that was being cooked.
For some insane reason the washing machine in the apartment literally takes $1.25 in quarters. It's borderline insulting that I was charged to do laundry when the stay already cost so much.
The location is very good. It is a short walk to downtown palo alto
