Redwood City, California
All new efficiency with full kitchen, private entrance, big back yard with BBQ!! on a quiet street, but very close to down town Redwood City and its theaters!!, multiplex cinema, and great restaurants. "Basement" apartment, but with street level entrance and a rear access to yard. Air conditioner. Owners, empty nest professional couple, live upstairs. Queen size bed, sofa, 55" Amazon Stick TV, large shower .
The host always responded in an exceptional manner to accommodate our needs. We had some unusual events, which he fully accommodated. The space is of high value, and very economical.
Other reviews are spot on- nice but cozy/small place, perfect size for me traveling to the area for work by myself. Slight gap in communication about a sink that would not drain. Shower is interesting- large and with a curtain that does not quite cover it. Still, the whole place was a very pleasant experience and would stay there again.
Nice place, good communication
This place exceeded my expectations. Upon arrival, there was tea and snacks set up for my partner and me. They even took into account my partner's allergies! It was very clean and had all the amenities you would find at a nice hotel (robes, slippers, earth-friendly shampoos and soaps, complimentary coffee and snacks, even some wired headphones). Here is a breakdown of my experience as 2 women staying in an unfamiliar area. Pros: - Sensor light at the front entrance - Full kitchen for cooking with nearly all necessary utensils (I do wish there would have been a spatula and a pair of scissors, but it really wasn't a big deal) - Quiet area - Grocery and a few department stores were about a 10-minute drive - Small outside seating area at the front entrance Cons: - The location is in one of the safest cities in CA, however, I would have still liked to have blinds or some type of thicker curtains over the windows. Suggestions: - I was not accustomed to cooking with an electric stove, so I set off the fire alarm one day when cooking because I had the heat too high - I am 5'7, so the ceiling height was not an issue for me, however, as a previous guest mentioned, if you are taller than the 6' range, you may be a little uncomfortable. - The neighborhood was very walkable if you just wanted to go for a stroll, however, I highly suggest renting a car if you need to run errands. For us, it was a cheaper option due to the ride-share and Instacart strikes. - The laundry machines are through the door by the bed. You just need to ask the Owner to unlock the door.
Extremely comfortable bed. Great bathroom. I felt very welcome with the extra touches and welcoming appetizers.
This was a perfect spot to stay in the area. The unit had everything I needed and then some. Parking was easy. The kitchenette was ideal for cooking little meals. All and all, a wonderful place! Only warning I would give is very tall people should be mindful of this listing. At 6'3, I was very close to the ceiling and in parts of the bathroom, I couldn't stand upright.
