I stayed for three months during a research visit at Stanford Uni. My my daughter joined me and went to High School in Palo Alto. The appartment is nice and cosy. The two separate bedrooms allowed for the privacy that we needed, the combined kitchen and living room is great for socializing and to cook together. Most of all, I liked the patio where we could enjoy some of the meals outside and relax after a day of work although the outdoor furniture is a bit drawn by the weather. The location of the appartment is great, too; in walking distance to High School and shops/restaurants in California Ave. It is easy to get around by bike, particularly on Stanford campus, but make sure to lock the bike onto something; ours was stolen from the parking lot underneath the appartment.
