Bernadette was an excellent host. We would occasionally eat dinner together (sometimes I cooked; sometime she cooked). We even went out to visit a local winery together!
Bernadette has a very nice home; the walls are decorated with cool and interesting paintings. The home has heated flooring. The backyard is really nice. I had a bicycle and she provided me with a bike stand, and a garage door opener to allow me to take my bicycle in and out of the garage with ease.
A coffee machine, coffee grinder, and real coffee beans was provided. She also provided some oatmeal/snacks/cereal/tea for breakfast. Bernadette gave me plenty of privacy, but also was willing to engage in some interesting conversations during the evening.
***Post Accuracy*** The description of the place is accurate. The place is as pictured. It is good sized and I had plenty of room to work and relax. As stated in the posting, the location does not have good public transportation; you will need a car or have to Uber to get places.
***Amenities*** Nice desk in room. Washer and dryer are top of the line. Full kitchen access was provided. The amenities included a rice cooker, microwave, convection/toaster oven, and gas stove. The main oven in the kitchen is broken, but the convection/toaster oven was more than adequate. She assigned me a couple of shelves and a veggie drawer to use in the refrigerator (unfortunately no room was available in the freezer), and a shelf in the garage for my dry goods. I was able to whip up some pretty fancy home made meals. Nice big screen TV with stereo "surround-sound" in the living room. The only issue I had during the stay was that the WiFi was spotty.
***Cleanliness*** Bernadette is very meticulous and keeps the house very clean.
***Location*** House is in a very safe neighborhood. Off-street parking was provided.
***Value*** This is an excellent value for the location. It is difficult to find a place in Redwood City at this price and location.
Overall, I would definitely be willing to book this place again and highly recommend this place to all AirBNBers.
