The Good: Spacious house with large rooms in a great location. Good communication with the host. Everything worked fine (appliances, bbq, hot water, TVs etc). Beds were comfortable and the house was clean. We appreciated the Keurig and regular coffee pot as well as the many snacks and treats left for us. The Not As Good: This house is old and has not been updated. Be prepared for broken cabinet doors, evidence of leaks in the ceiling, broken towel racks in the bathrooms, old appliances (the ovens are particularly small but clean and worked well) as well as well worn wood floors and carpets. No of these issues took away from our stay but if you are looking for high end, this is not it. The only real issue we had was there was not enough silverware - I think only 10 forks total. Something the host could easily remedy. We would stay again for sure if visiting Stanford or the area with a large group but I wouldnât choose it for guests I want to impress.
Mike was very responsive and welcoming. The house was perfect for our 13 person group and ideally located for the wedding we were attending at Stanford. It was an excellent and comfortable stay.
The house is in a great location if you need to be near Stanford (or Palo Alto and Menlo Park). The kitchen is GREAT. Huge! Needs some newer pots/pans and more cutlery, and the cooktop needs some attention (the gas burners don't all light) but there is a standard AND a "pod" coffee maker. Two driveway spots, and one garage spot, and street parking. But you're near a busy corner so you need to pay attention when pulling in and out. You're just around the corner from the Dutch Goose, Starbucks, Lulus and Flea Street if you don't feel like cooking yourself. The house needs some TLC - there were some non-working lightbulbs and some doors off hinges, towels bars needing repair, a bed frame needing repair, etc. And the upstairs windows are hard to open (we couldn't figure out how) so it was warm and stuffy at night. The front door really needs an improved way to enter. It's a bit glitchy and there are newer keyless systems that could be installed.Finally, most rooms (especially the bedrooms) are short on outlets - if you need to plug in multiple devices, bring an power strip. And this is shoe-free household.
Beautiful home with large bedrooms and a great kitchen area! Extremely clean! Owner had great communication the whole time. Will definitely be staying there again!!
Great home to house 8 Ladies for a board meeting from out of the area. This property is 6 minutes from the Stanford golf course, close to University Avenue for great restaurants and bars.
