The stay at Mei Lin and Ross' place has been a really pleasant one. Even though Mei Lin was not in town during the period of my stay, she was kind and thoughtful enough to send a message to provide key information that will enable me to access the place. That helped to smoothen the transition as I fly in after an exhausting 20 hour flight. Ross, Mei Lin's husband, is a warm and hospitable host that is open for conversations. He has been extremely helpful in providing information about the neighborhood. The room is warm and cosy despite the chilly weather outside. The amenities are really great too! Overall a huge thumbs up from me. If I am ever back in Palo Alto, Mei Lin and Ross' place will certain be on top of the list of places to stay! Thank you again!
