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. ##### Tricia P. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Daniel C B. 28 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Principal Vrbo’s identification uploads were not visible by management firm had to be done again, Wi-Fi password was wrong in the checkin instructions.Ongoing plumbing issue was dealt by management company poorly.Nice property, management team wasn’t on their A Game. Stayed in Vrbo full houses that my wife has rented much less hassle with overall process. ##### Daniel C B. Stayed 22 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### DIANE A. 19 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Cold studio, no insulation Poor bathroom, poor electrics which cut out due to inefficient circuit breakers. We were not advised in advance of this.This made studio very cold. Took 24 hours to get fixed.Very litte crockery, or glasses. ##### DIANE A. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel C B. 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Principal The unit is fine. The management company is inexperienced, sign in process is very cumbersome and the uploaded documents failed each time to be received, had to be texted separately each time. The Wi-Fi password did not work at my initial stay and when I stayed a second time in the space the same Wi-Fi error still exists in their welcome package. I have used my wife’s Vrbo account to stay in several other places so much easier than this management company. I had plumbing issue the first I stayed on a weekend and management company was frustrating to deal with to resolve. The overall experience was disappointing for what is a very nice comfortable space. Less disingenuous apologies and more action goes a long way with clients. ##### Daniel C B. Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kimpton Everly Hotel Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-Everly-Hotel-Hollywood.h17524828.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Hollywood.h32945867.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Cabana, Palo Alto by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palo-Alto-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Cabana.h51003.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Downtown/Bayside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Diego-DowntownBayside.h13155016.Hotel-Information) > > [Level Los Angeles Downtown - South Olive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Level-Los-Angeles-Downtown-South-Olive.h10649672.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Los Angeles Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-CitizenM-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h65299564.Hotel-Information) > > [Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coronado-Hotels-Coronado-Island-Marriott-Resort-Spa.h25270.Hotel-Information) > > [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > > [Cornell Hotel de France](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Cornell-Hotel-De-France.h1222727.Hotel-Information) > > [W Los Angeles - West Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Los-Angeles-West-Beverly-Hills.h25974.Hotel-Information) > > [Biltmore Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Millennium-Biltmore-Los-Angeles.h25715.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Lake Pool & Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Silver-Lake-Pool-Inn.h34504058.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Bahia-Resort-Hotel.h18241.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton La Peer Hotel West Hollywood by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-La-Peer-Hotel.h18156733.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wayfarer San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Wayfarer-San-Diego.h15555.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barnes San Francisco, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Villa-Florence-San-Francisco-On-Union-Square.h5425.Hotel-Information) > > [The Zen Hotel Palo Alto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palo-Alto-Hotels-The-Zen-Hotel-Palo-Alto.h889343.Hotel-Information) > > [Clarion Hotel Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Clarion-Hotel-Anaheim-Resort.h3893.Hotel-Information) > > [Mondrian Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Mondrian-Los-Angeles.h4798.Hotel-Information) > > [W Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Hollywood.h3084874.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Franklin Hotel near Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Adler-A-Hollywood-Hills-Hotel.h9761.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sun Rose West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Sun-Rose-West-Hollywood.h57961536.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Ocean-View-Hotel.h19135.Hotel-Information) > > [HOLLYWOOD VOLUME, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-HOLLYWOOD-VOLUME.h62585670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Francisco Union Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hilton-San-Francisco-Union-Square.h25622.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Wharf San Francisco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Fishermans-Wharf-San-Francisco.h22500.Hotel-Information)
