We stayed for a month, and our stay was pleasentful. Alex was kind, helpful, and minutes away for whatever we need. The pool area between the poolhouse and main house, but we never had an issue of privacy. Alex's family provided complete privacy for us during our stay. He helped pick up our mails and packages. Also, he helped us to remove all glass and fragile items from the house upon request on the very first day. Since we are new to redwood city, he provided helpful information for the town and neighborhood. We had a great time during our stay, but we had a bitter experience after check out.

We stayed here with our one and half year baby. She put some pen marks on the couch, table, router, pillow, and bedsheets, but no more than two inches except on the table. We were aware of the only couch and informed host, but not other places. The host found other areas of pen marks and noticed that they were permanent pen marks. So, he asked me to pay for cleaning charges of $455, though I felt costs are high; since I do not have much knowledge on cleaning and it was our mistake, I agreed to pay without receipts, but through AIRBNB. That's where it started even better. When he claimed through AIRBNB, he began adding additional damages such as desk damage caused by sanitizer and scratches to one cooking pot. We did not bring or bought the sanitizer. The sanitizer was provided by the host and placed on the table before we checked in. Later, the host claims that the desk and table were antique, and the sanitizer and pen mark damages can not be cleaned easily. We used that cooking pot for 30 days, but it was not new. I agree that our daily use of pot might have made scratches or increased scratches already existed. Anyway, the host claimed $3715 for damages through the AIRBNB support team, which I felt way too much for cleaning pen marks. I also thought that we are not responsible for desk damage by sanitizer, so I denied paying the claimed amount and agreed to pay an initial amount of $455 to the AIRBNB support team. I can not imagine what the host might be claimed if we break the fragile items we removed on the first day.
Finally, Alex is kind and helpful, and a pool house is a good place and perfect for couples and families without small kids. Since my experience after checkout was not good, I would not recommend this place to anyone.
