I stayed with Carina for three weeks, and it was a lovely stay. Carina was the ideal host, providing helpful advice and interesting conversation, but also allowing privacy and quiet after a day out at work. The location is perfect, close to downtown Palo Alto, a longish but very pleasant walk or a short bike into the Stanford campus. A little over a mile to Caltrain. Room and bathroom are comfortable and clean, as advertised. I would stay here again, no question.
