We stayed here for just one night while visiting our son at Stanford. The location is wonderful--in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to retail locations, near the 101 and very close to Stanford.
The room itself was compact, but welcoming and very comfortable. The host provided a nice array of amenities, including coffee, tea, soda, candy, snacks, etc., as well as shampoo, conditioner, even a travel toothbrush and an umbrella! The bed was comfortable and I slept very well. My husband complained of noises during the night, but he is a light sleeper. The shower was wonderful!! There is a nice, private patio just outside the door to the room.
Our host checked in during our stay to see if we needed anything. The instructions on how to get into the room were perfect, and we felt very safe during our stay. We would recommend Liling's place to anyone staying in Palo Alto, and hope to stay here again when we visit the area.
