Secluded Studio
Great stay, quiet isolated location in the Redwood City hills, beautiful property, fairly simple check-in. Space was large enough for two people, great option for our Stanford recovery.

Disappointing. Not recommended in current condition.
Disappointed immediately. It's a pool shack (1 large room and 1 bathroom) with a queen bed against a wall. The inside walls are in poor condition with patches on display. Very poor window coverings falling off the rail and missing from the other window making the quality feel very poor. The place was not clean as there was plenty of old dog hair and an old pair of socks at the base of the bar legs, toenail clippings in the bathroom, and old food and chew tables in the cupboard. The dishes and cutlery are minimal, i.e., just 5 paper cereal bowls (no ceramic or plastic bowls), which wasn’t enough for our planned 13 night stay. No dining table or chairs inside the unit so it was meals on laps, and the outside dining table wasn’t clean. The closet was full of junk and there was no drawer unit so we couldn't unpack our luggage. There were two crappy hangers outside the storage closet door, which was inadequate. Of serious concern was the smoke detector had been removed. There is no lock & key to secure our belongings when we went out (although you can lock yourself inside with the interior lock), which was particularly concerning after we saw several young people sneaking around the Cabana. We moved out the next day (at significant cost to us). We booked for 13 nights; I stayed 3 nights and my wife stayed just 2 nights. TV, internet, towels, hot water, towels okI cannot recommend this VRBO in its current condition. Suggest u find a clean, safe, and convenient hotel instead.

Basic stay.
A place to quickly crash for a simple adult but definitely not a couple or family. The place could be so much better if hosts would keep better care and clean of it. Sadly wouldn’t recommend.. only positive is the view was nice and location was good for us because of close friends.
