High End 2-BR Menlo Park + Modern Amenities!

VaheRating, 5 stars62 months ago
Very central to the peninsula. Freeway entrance/exit a few minutes away. The space was super clean and still had its “brand new” appeal. Very spacious. What made our 2 week stay most special was the developments amenities. Free video game arcade, amazing gym, pool jacuzzi hang out spaces. All great. The only negative comment I have is there’s a business behind the development (either junk yard or dog day care), that had many dogs barking in the middle of the night. If you’re a lighter sleeper this may affect you.
A modern communal lounge area is highlighted by a stylish sectional sofa and vibrant artwork on the walls. Natural light filters through large windows, illuminating the spacious room, which includes a dining area and a gourmet kitchen. Decorative plants add a touch of greenery.

Beautiful 1BR Apt w/Gym + Full Kitchen

MarkeRating, 5 stars46 months ago
If you are looking for security, this is the place! The building is locked and the door to the room is very secure. The area feels very safe. Access to onsite amenities is a bonus. Coffee room with free coffee drinks, pool, spa, and BBQs available for use. A self-service Pet Spa if your pet needs a bath! You also have access to the on-site gym. Short drive to many restaurants in Palo Alto, Atherton, and Redwood City. There is limited non-assigned parking on-site. However, we were always able to get a space. Full kitchen, washer and dryer, and WiFi worked well.
