Had a great time! Mei and family provide a very welcoming, fun and warm house. Personal highlights include; 1. Location, location, location. short walks from Trader Joes or Whole Foods, stones throw from other stores. 5 minute walk to Stanford gate and bus service. 2. Study - quiet locations to find inspiration and hit the books. 3. The Economist and New York Times on the breakfast table.

Mei Lin is a wonderful hostess, with a delightful family. Their location is amazing. For $4.75 you get from either San Jose or San Francisco airports to within 6/10 of a mile of Mei Lin's home. Stanford and the downtown are adjacent to that train station, so all is close. She has three small guest rooms with a shared bathroom for them; a large family room with large screen TV, a medium-large work table, and a printer to share; and a small refrigerator in the laundry room for guests to...

I was very happy to stay at Mei Lin´s home. It was a nice place and very nice people. Thanks for a lovely time.
Anna

Mei Lin and Ross are lovely and very helpful hosts, I enjoyed staying at their house very much. Their place is very close to Stanford, it is possible to bike or walk to the campus. And, there is a piano in the house!
Marianna

Mei Lin and Ross are great hosts, they kindly accommodated us at their place while our research visit at Stanford University. We arrived at Palo Alto with my spouse and our little baby, and Mei Lin and Ross were incredibly helpful to make our stay a success. The house is very comfortable, ideally located in 5 mins walk from Caltrain and Marguerite shuttle stop. Everything you need is available in the house, street parking is free but crowded during office hours. You'll have access to... More »

For four days I stayed in the Inn of Mei Linn and from the moment I entered the house I liked the atmosphere. The highlights were the joyful musical moments in the evenings: Mei Lin and the Scottisch visiting scholar playing the piano and Ross playing the jazzy clarinet.

Mei and Ross were very nice hosts. The location is the most convenient, and the house is very pleasant

This was a great place to stay for a few days. Mei was very helpful and accommodating. If you are looking for a cozy spot in the heart of palo alto, this is a great bet.
Damon

Mei Lin was an absolutely amazing host. In her spacious house, she has created a warm, cozy, peaceful and meditative environment that was exactly what I needed. The house was completely clean and we even witnessed the housekeepers two times in our 3 day stay. Bathroom and living area was great and well kept. The house is in a perfect location; in fact, we walked everyday to Stanford and downtown Palo Alto where there is an abundance of great restaurants. Mei Lin is an experienced AirBnB... More »

We enjoyed our 6 nights at Mei's place as well as her whole family's hospitality. It felt almost like home. We had our private room, and could also use the kitchen and sit outside in the beautiful garden.
Vanessa

I had a great stay at Mei's place and won't hesitate to recommend it to friends. Mei is an excellent host a super kind person. The room is very comfortable and clean. In summary, everything went smoothly from making the reservation to my actual stay there.
Alan

Mei was away for most of my stay but made sure I had everything I needed. The room and facilities were great and I especially enjoyed making use of the garden. Overall, highly recommended.
Judy

This is our second year staying with Mei and we always enjoy her hospitality and our stay - great location!
Lea

Mei and her family were so welcoming that we really felt comfortable in her home. Everything was as advertised and we had a lovely time! The bathroom and the garden were especially awesome. I brought my own bike lock and was able to borrow a bike to go back and forth to Stanford, which was really helpful.
Simon

great place to stay in Palo Alto!
Simon

Awesome
Tammy

The host canceled my reservation 39 days before arrival.
Nijole

This was my first time using AirBnB and I will admit I was slightly sketched about staying in someone else's home. Now, I can't stop recommending my experience due the the value, comfot, and kindness provided by my host. In many ways I think staying with Mei was much better than my hotel experience, and I encourage anyone on the fence about trying this service to pull the trigger because I couldn't be happier about it. I can't help admiring the bed, of course, the mattress is fantastic. :)... More »

Mei Lin and Ross are great hosts! The house is amazing, the location as well. Just a few minutes from downtown Palo Alto and Caltrain.
Jerry

This place is really nice. Ms Mei Fung was a very nice host! I loved staying here.
Santy and reinhold

A beautiful house in a very nice area and a terrific host. What else we could expect more.
Adnan

Enjoyed my stay. The place is nice, great location and friendly hosts!
Sumesh

As a cost concious entrepreneur, staying at Mei's residence in Palo Alto was a true blessing. Not only was she a super hostess, I soon realised how well connected and clued in she was with the bay area tech scene, which was great to bounce off ideas. The location of the house is perfect, Being just 10 mins away from the caltrain and downtown Palo Alto was a huge plus. Mei really made me feel welcome and at home. She often went out of her way to help with little things that made all the... More »

I stay at Butterfly inn for for two consecutive weeks and were very happy. Mei and her husband are very friendly and helpful and accommodating. Bed is comfortable, and bathroom is new, modern, and clean. The location is excellent.

Great place! Very close to downtown Palo Alto, and Mei was a terrific host
David

Mei Lin and Ross were very friendly hosts and made my stay an easy, enjoyable one. They have a lovely home, and it's an easy walk to downtown Palo Alto or Stanford Stadium. I look forward to staying with them again.
Mike

Mei is a fantastic host. She has a beautiful home in an amazing neighborhood near downtown Palo Alto and she was very hospitable. Highly recommended!
Judy

We really loved staying in Mei's house - they were so nice to us; it is a great place and very close to Stanford where we were attending class. Would stay again!
Sinae

Warm and friendly folks, very helpful! Very convenient location in beautiful neighborhood, short walk to downtown Palo Alto and to Stanford bus and trains. Would definitely stay again!
Isabel

Mei was so kind and helpful! This was a fantastic place to stay. I was very tired after a long day of work and was so glad to have such a cozy place to rest!
David

Convenient & easy-going, which is what I needed.
Mark

What a wonderful place to stay. Wonderful people, including fun conversations about Englebart, the future and the history of our digital culture. Great location as everyone else has said. A leafy small town neighborhood, but super close to Stanford, Caltrain and downtown Palo Alto. Would definitely stay again.
Michaela

I stayed with Mei Lin and Ross during a conference which I attended at the Stanford University. Their warm welcome and kindness made it a pleasent stay for me at their house. It helped me a lot that I was allowed to use their kitchen, their internet and rent one of their bikes. The house it close to campus, downtown Palo Alto and the Caltrain station which was very convinient since I didn't have a car. Thank you very much for everything, Mei Lin and Ross!
Diane

Staying with Mei Lin and Ross at the Butterfly Inn was delightful. The house has lovely natural light from all the skylights and it is a wonderfully warm and welcoming place. Mei Lin was especially kind and loving to our four-year-old (who particularly loved helping to feed the bunnies) and that was greatly appreciated. The location is perfect, near everything. We could walk to so many places including the university, downtown, the farmer's market, Whole Foods, and the pool. Mei Lin even... More »
