Private room in Menlo Park, California
Landlord Tenure: 5 years, 6 months
This listing is for a bedroom/bathroom + common space in a 4 bedroom, 2000 SQ Foot house in a beautiful, safe, tree-lined neighborhood. The house was built in 1928 and has a lot of charm - it is an older house, not super "updated". It's a fantastic location and you can walk to downtown Palo Alto or Menlo Park, Stanford Shopping Center, Stanford University and Safeway (2 blocks!). I live at the property with my small dog. I am ...
Bedroom has just been renovated, newly painted, great built in cabinets, queen bed with new linens.
We are in a wonderful, quiet, safe, tree-lined neighborhood with friendly folks. Stanford University is 1-2 miles away (depending on where on campus you are going), downtown Palo Alto and Stanford Shopping Center are about a mile, downtown Menlo Park is 1/2 mile, and Safeway is just 2 bocks away. The neighborhood has lots of friendly neighbors, kids, and people out walking. There's a great dog park a block away if you happen t...
Margie is the best!
It was my first time renting via furnished finder so I wasn't sure what to expect, but Margie made me feel right at home. She is respectful of personal space, generous and kind. Most notably she is also a completely normal, cool person. She worked with me on extending while I was looking for a place of my own, which I'm grateful for. Walking to work at Stanford everyday took only 20min. My only complaint is that I couldn't take her dog, Harvey, with me - he is an absolute gentleman and weird little guy. Thanks for everything Margie!
Excellent stay close to Stanford
I couldn't have asked for a better location and neiborhood, and absolutely loved the room! Great storage space including drawers, cabinets, shelves, and a closet all built in to the room. The bathroom was very nice and the home had lots of natural light. The back yard is also beautiful and a great place for breakfast in the sunshine. I was provided with a good amount of cabinet and fridge space in the kitchen. There are 2 grocery stores within 3/4 of a mile and I was able to bike or use puplic transportation to get to everywhere I needed to during my month stay. Margie was an excellent host and very kind!
Cozy + Conveniently Located Home
I loved staying in Margie's place! She's very kind and her dog is fun to play with. The room is comfortable and has plenty of storage space, and the bathrooom has very nice fixtures. The home is very cozy, you can tell a lot of care goes into it. Really close to all sorts of neat restauraunts, I liked the Cofeebar cafe that was a short trip into the downtown part of Menlo Park. Downtown Palo Alto is also just a short stone's throw away, which made it really convenient for getting dinner or just walking around a really cool region. The Caltrain is also a short walk away, which made getting to work very simple + fast. You could also walk a bit further to the Palo Alto Caltrain station if you want to take an Express train. 10/10 place to stay, Margie is a great person to be around/chat with and I'd come back again if I could!!
Amazing experience!
I had a wonderful time staying with Margie she is so kind, warm, and made my experience so comfortable. The room and bathroom I leased were extremely clean, and the rest of the house (including an awesome backyard) was just as great. The location is great, too, with so many stores walking distance away. Margie is awesome; I'd highly recommend staying here!
