Superb location -- easily walkable to Stanford, downtown Palo Alto & CalTrain! Plus, Mei Lin offered me a bike & lock to use if I didn't want to walk. Mei Lin is very gracious & organized. I was a little apprehensive about sharing the bathroom with 3+ other guests, (because my schedule during my Stanford reunion was not very flexible), but it worked out without problem. Mei Lin's home has beautiful black bamboo planted in front & a special garden in the back that you can walk out to from the floor above the basement guest rooms.
