Notes

To help alleviate the train noise, we have provided a white noise machine and ear plugs on the bedroom nightstand.

Where can I dispose of trash?

You can dispose of bagged trash in the trash room located across from unit 142/242. Please ensure all trash is bagged before disposing of it down the chute. Please do not insert any large cardboard or bulky items down the chute. To dispose of cardboard, please break it down and place it in recycling dumpster by garage lobby in B1.

How can I receive packages?

Locale guests cannot receive packages. Our shipping partner, Bounce, offers convenient package delivery options for Locale guests. You can use this link to review pricing and nearby locations or complete a booking. A convenient alternative is to place an Amazon order for delivery to a nearby Hub.

How can I receive food delivery?

Simply tell your delivery driver to go the kiosk in front of the resident entrance in front of the fountain. There they will press the “delivery” option and choose the apartment number so that it will call your phone. Please provide your delivery driver the following address for delivery: 550 Oak Grove Ave, Menlo Park, CA 94025.

How do I operate the thermostat?

To operate your thermostat, first press the mode button to switch between the heating, cooling, and off settings. If you have selected heating or cooling, press the + or - buttons to set your ideal temperature. You can adjust the fan settings by pressing the fan button to choose between “Auto Fan” (the fan will automatically turn on and off to ensure your unit is always at your selected temperature) or “On” (the fan will run continuously). Cycle through the modes until your desired fan mode is displayed and leave it to activate.
