I had a lovely time staying in Marlene's cabin whilst I was visiting my daughter who is at Stanford. Marlene was very responsive to my emails prior to my visit and gave me a very warm welcome on my arrival. The cabin, is delightful, well appointed, comfortable and clean with lots of personal touches, including fresh flowers and fruit.

Marlene was such a gracious hostess, she left me in peace, but I know if I had wanted anything or fancied a chat, she would have been there. She also very sweetly provided me with freshly booked brownies when my daughters and some friends came over for tea.

Marlene also offered to drive us to the station the day we left, which was very kind of her.

I would (and have already) recommended Marlene's cabin to anyone staying in Palo Alto, and I hope to stay there again on my future visits.

Thanks so much Marlene - see you again soon.
