My colleague and I stayed a week in Joanie's beautiful little bungalow in Redwood City, while doing fieldwork in the nearby Santa Cruz Mountains. The house has been completely remodeled, and is well and tastefully appointed and sparkling clean. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and the two are at opposite ends of the house, so there was plenty of privacy for our situation. The galley kitchen is complete and very nice.
The house is located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. We enjoyed some of the best Mexican food I've had in the Bay Area, with many fine taquerias and mercados within walking distance. I particularly recommend the grilled chicken take-out at the nearby Mercado Michuacan. Yum!
Joanie was very responsive and accommodating. All in all, a 5-Star Stay!
