Very quiet stay, right on Stanford campus. This is a backroom in a house in Stanford's faculty neighborhood. I was surprised to find that there was an unlocked door between the room and the rest of the house that did not lock from my side. That was unsettling, as I assumed it would be a totally private space. I recommend either the host put a lock on the adjoining door from the guest's side to make the space more private, OR it needs to be more clear in the listing that this is a room in a house, with an adjoining door, not a separate space. The outside pathway to the room had some obstacles, boxes, bins and leaf piles. It would have been more welcoming to have a clear path:-) The shade on the door window was gone; I asked the host to put something up to provide privacy which they did right away. While the space seemed clean enough, some items seemed worn - sheets had holes, pillows were old and pretty flat, shower curtain (inner) needed to be replaced. The mattress was very comfortable. I loved the host's excellent book collection and her offer to have guests take one home and just mail it back in mailer she provides! Pretty cool. Instant hot water and tea selection was lovely. I recommend putting the mini (it's tiny!) fridge out in the room, not in the closet, so guests can see it better. Hope that helps. I enjoyed the stay and would stay again if the lock issue is resolved.
