    Come with your clothes - this is a super simple option for anyone in transition for a move or relocation, for a seasonal getaway or just a 'need space' on your own for a while type of place. The host has thought of everything you'll need and more. My husband and I were in between on our move and found this to be a perfect spot to re-energize between our move-out and move-in. Lovely patio area for some outside space, complete with BBQ. A unique and very walkable neighborhood, as well as to stroll to downtown Redwood City restaurants. It's really hard to do better!

    Amazing cottage and the host, Kirsten, is so attentive. I stayed at this Vrbo for almost 2 months and had no issues whatsoever. The cottage is extremely private, spacious, and modern. The neighborhood itself is quiet and central to lots of shops and restaurants.

    This was my 2nd time staying at Kirsten's cottage. The space is lovely, and I had no issues.

    I had a lovely stay in the cottage! It's a beautiful, cosey space and quite close to downtown Redwood City. I'd definitely stay again :)

    We can’t say enough great things about this property or Kirsten. Fabulous location in a very quaint and lovely neighborhood. Kirsten has thought of everything (including a binder that addressed every question we could’ve had), is always available and makes you feel warm and welcome at all times. A wonderful experience all the way around!

    Stayed for over two months. The place was very clean and spacious. The environment feels very welcoming, from the garden path in the entrance to the cozy decorations. The location is excellent. It’s just a 15-20m walk and a 5m bike ride away from Redwood City. I was able to receive mail without issue. It is also very private and feels very secure.

    This modern cottage is an oasis set in a magnificent garden! It’s even better in person than the lovely photos. Kirsten has thought of EVERYTHING to make her guests both comfortable and delighted. Quick access to all Bay Area locations made every aspect of my visit a snap. Eager to return!! Five stars falls short in reviewing our experience!!!!

    I can't thank Kirsten enough for all her help and patience with housing our traveling nurse professional. Communication was always clear and prompt. Absolutely no complaints during our traveler's long stay. Top notch quality. Thanks, Kirsten! It's a pleasure working/booking with you! : )

    I stayed here for 3 months during the summer of 2021. I was so sad to leave! It has absolutely every amenity you could need and was very well decorated down to the smallest of details. It's like a little secret oasis. It was really private, but Kirsten was also an awesome host whenever I needed anything. It was an easy drive into the city and down into the heart of silicon valley. The Caltrain station is also in walking distance. I highly recommend this property. Go stay here!!!
