As a visitor to the Stanford campus, I could not have asked for a better set-up. The apartment/house is in a great location -- blocks from campus and plenty of local storefronts -- and offers helpful amenities (kitchen appliances and supplies, strong WiFi, hair dryer, shampoo, etc.). When I arrived at the unit and called Doris, she answered on the first ring. And, when I noticed that the smoke alarm was drained/nonfunctional (a totally fair oversight), Glenn (the manager) replaced it the very next morning.
