2BR Guest House | Downtown Redwood City | 10mins to Stanford/Palo Alto | Parking

Communication with the host was excellent but below are a few items that need to be addressed.Was not what I expected. While the bedroom size was nice, the kitchen and living area were much smaller than anticipated. There were also several safety concerns, including multiple electrical outlets missing covers and no visible fire alarms. In addition, the kitchenette electrical system appeared overloaded — using more than one appliance at a time risked tripping the circuit breaker.To top it off, the instructed parking arrangement required the vehicle to be partially parked on a public sidewalk, which was inconvenient and did not seem appropriate or safe.

This is a great value for the price, especially for a two-bedroom ADU in Redwood City. The space is clean, comfortable, and well-appointed — plenty of dishes, silverware, pots and pans, an induction burner, coffee maker with coffee, creamer & sugar, and a large dorm-style fridge, which worked well for everyday meals. Linens were clean, beds were comfortable, and the unit feels thoughtfully set up despite a DIY build style.The shared, enclosed backyard with AstroTurf is nice and worked well for a short stay with my dog - we had enough room to play ball with her. I never felt unsafe during my stay. Some of the gates and doors can be a bit finicky to close, but it didn’t impact comfort or peace of mind.Communication with the host was excellent — responsive, clear, and easy throughout. Overall, a solid, comfortable option and a very good value for what you’re paying.

Pictures of facilities were way out of date. Structure is falling apart. We tried to contact host about door frame and lock extremely loose and hardly closing but no response. Also false advertising. Said oven but a toaster oven and oven are two different things. No mat to wipe feet off on. Walkway or alley way was cluttered with debris which was brought into structure and made for more floor cleaning constantly. Light fixture in one room was so dim when turned on you couldn’t tell it was on. Outer screen doors to alleyway and main door were all bent up and frame so loose it would not close. Very scary when locks are failing. A small hotel like fridge made it hard to bring in groceries. The good things was good bathroom and kitchen sink. And ample hot water. Beds were pretty soft. Washer and dryer in the garage was kind of scary at night due to area location and bad locks. This facility needs to be repaired. I would not recommend staying here unless you can’t find anything else. The price was good but you get what you pay for. Didn’t feel safe at times even with people coming up to our door to ask questions.

The place was just okay. There was a regular coffee pot, but no coffee. Typically there is coffee provided, waters and some condiments. parking is a small space if you have two vehicles you will be parking on the street if you can find itThe beds were comfortable. Just request extra towels.

Our family stayed for just under 1 month while we were finishing a remodel. The rental was functional and met our needs, though there were some challenges. On warm days there were ants that came inside from various points. There were also several days where there were power outages due to work being done on the property. On one occasion this meant we had to stay in a hotel for the night (which the owner covered). The hot water also took a very long time to heat up. However, the host was very communicative and helpful, which I appreciated. And everything inside the rental worked as advertised.
