This was my first Airbnb experience and it was a good one. The room was very peaceful and the bed was very comfortable. The sound of the trickling water garden outside was restful and soothing. The shower was wonderful and the access to the two bathrooms was more than adequate. I appreciated the separate entrance to come and go as I pleased and the small downstairs kitchen, which had a refrigerator, microwave, laundry, and ironing board. Wifi was great. I had everything I needed to make me feel at home. Though I only sat in the garden once, it was a lovely spot. I did not mind sharing the area with the other airbnbers that were staying there, who were polite, friendly, and considerate. Mei Lin's house is a serene place and peaceful oasis in busy Palo Alto. The location is terrific--near Stanford and many restaurants and amenities. I didn't interact with the hosts too much, but they were very kind, welcoming, and accommodating, making sure I had everything I needed. I hope to be back!
