This was my very first Airbnb experience and boy did Elena set the bar high for future hosts! We stayed here during our tour of universities in California. The space would easily accommodate a family of 3. The separate bedroom has an extremely comfortable queen bed. The fold out sofa was also really comfortable; it's nothing like the pull out sofas of yester-year that have the uncomfortable metal bar. The bathroom was clean with a great shower/tub and large vanity. But what made this place stand out was all of the considerate touches. There were candies and drinks waiting for us and she even dropped off some fresh apricots from her own tree (yum!). She picked up brochures she thought might be of interest to us. There are books on the bookshelves, stationary supplies, and even an umbrella by the door (does it even rain in California?). There was plenty of Dove body wash, shampoo, and conditioner as well as lotion in the bathroom. Everything was super clean and fresh! Parking was a breeze on the safe and quiet side street; right next to the entry gate. The place has it's own private courtyard and there are great restaurants and shopping within an easy, very safe walk. If you forget anything, there is a Target and Macy's within walking distance. We toured Stanford which was an easy 20 minute drive. Elena is very accessible but not obtrusive. We ran into her the first night and chatted a bit. She gave us some great suggestions on places to eat as well as an overview of the general area. She is the consummate hostess. Prior to our arrival, she sent us very easy check-in instructions. If my daughter gets into Stanford, I plan on staying here every time I visit, it was just that awesome!
