I am usually dedicated hotel traveller but wanted something in a slightly better location and was eager to choose an affordable option compared with some of the chain hotels across from Stanford. I could not have been more thrilled.
This was a perfect location for visit to Stanford...I enjoyed walking everywhere. Excellent 3mile run through campus also an option. The location is also great for the California Caltrain station - it was an easy commute from the airport which was a plus. I walked past all of the restaurants and coffee shops that were options for dining. Felt VERY safe.
Things I loved:
Neighbourhood - it is so close to the Stanford campus - very easy walk although Stanford is big and bring your walking shoes no matter where you stay :)
Closest neighbourhood - California Ave has a lot of great options for food if you are eating out and Trader Joes is not too far way.
This was IDEAL place for single person on trip to this area - the hosts were quick to respond to my questions, the bed was comfy and quiet...bar fridge and microwave (and hot plate) mean totally self sufficient.
My first time booking with Airbnb was positive!
