This is a converted pool house loft, and it's beautifully decorated. Everything within the room is new and pristine. The carpet is soft and plush, the bed is new, with a very firm, very comfortable mattress. And I expected it to be cold in there on a January night, but they have a small space heater that works SO well, we had to turn it down in the middle of the night because we were so warm.
Everything in the loft has been carefully thought out, with a real eye for design. There are small, incredibly thoughtful things everywhere. There is a mini fridge that had waters, ice teas and sodas in it, a basket full of snacks, a Kuerig coffee maker with creamers in the minifridge and to-go cups for the coffee. In the bathroom, there was the most thoughtful basket of amenities I have ever seen. You could show up with nothing but the clothes on your back and have everything you need.
That being said, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. The bathroom is downstairs from the bedroom loft, and the stairs are pretty steep. My legs are short, and the steps were high enough that it was a small workout to go up and down them. But the owner is very nice about letting you know to just leave the light on the stairs on at night, because they are on solar power.
Also, it IS a loft, so you have the awkward slant of the ceiling to deal with, which my husband, who is 6'6", had a hard time with getting dressed in the room. But we can't complain, we knew it was a loft going into it. Everything else about it made it worth it.
Also, this is in a BEAUTIFUL neighborhood. You drive down a street of designer homes to get to it, it's like driving through an issue of Architectural Digest. The main house to this loft is gorgeous.
And the owner, Anne, is SO warm and welcoming, and she seems really excited about hosting on Air BnB, you could tell she really put a lot of thought into the comfort of her guests.
Also, the price is right. It's a great deal. I would much rather stay there than a nearby hotel, and I'm sure we paid less than we would have at a not-so-great hotel in Redwood City.
