Guesthouse with firepit near Stanford FB GOOG

6.0 out of 10, (3)
"To start with, if you want a place to stay for just one night then this place will suffice. The cleanliness of this property was poor to say the least. The floor in the bedroom wasn't mopped and there were dirt spots on the floor, as if someone had dribbled a soda on the floor. The bathroom shower has black mold in the corners of the shower."

@ Marbella Lane -Cozy 1BR Studio in Palo Alto DWTN

7.0 out of 10, Good, (4)
"This unit was very quiet despite it's closeness to the downtown area and the university. Very easy to walk to get coffee or food. The street parking is fine. There was some confusion with the listing, part of it said we could add a guest for one night for 25 but when we asked the property manager they said no. Lesson learned to select a different vrbo which will allow 3 guests. Overall a very nice unit while visiting Stanford for Family Weekend."
