The house is very charming and very well appointed and stocked. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy. Not nearly has charming as the house. Probably was relatively safe, but not an area where most women would be comfortable walking by themselves. A very short drive to downtown Redwood City and all the amenities including a super nice Safeway and a Whole Foods. Also, very close to the 101 which added a lot of convenience. To clarify regarding the train outside the house. I had never seen anything like it. Literally tracks for a freight train going down the middle of a residential street less than 50 feet from the house. You will hear it a few times during the day and at night, but I thought it added some character to the location and it certainly would not dissuade me from staying at the location again.
