katy's place provides you with all you need for a basic but confortable stay. we were there for 2 weeks and we had a very good experience. it is 5 bloks away from shops and locals. biking to Stanford takes 15 minutes. She kindly came to pick us up at Caltrain station. to get there with the luggages you defintely need a car (no taxi here, only Uber). I certainly recomend it.
