I had never stayed in an Airbnb before, so I was naturally a bit apprehensive about staying in a stranger's home for more than two months. My apprehension could not have been more misplaced. Alex and Karen were absolutely wonderful - and my stay with them far more enjoyable than I could have imagined. The house is beautiful and nestled within a lovely neighborhood about a 15-minute bike ride to Stanford. All the amenities are perfect - comfortable beds, big bathrooms, a guest-friendly kitchen space, a beautifully landscaped side yard, and speedy internet. Alex and Karen gave me a warm welcome and immediately made me feel right at home. They went above and beyond to think of every last thing (e.g., I mentioned that I wanted to see Yosemite, and the next thing I know they had stopped at a local AAA to get maps and brochures - I could offer a hundred examples along these lines). They both have a wonderful sense of humor and a true interest in people - they are the perfect hosts. I cannot recommend this Airbnb highly enough.
