The proximity to downtown Redwood City was great for us. The house is also large for the price. Having a separate office was also nice. The house was quite clean when we arrived. The wifi worked very well. The house was well appointed, with a nice dishwasher, TV, dishes, towels, etc. The decor was pleasant and tasteful. It was easy to get in. We had no problems that required help from Stephan.
The house is across the street from train tracks. The engineers routinely sound their horns when they reach this stretch of track, as late at 11:30PM. After we closed the doors to the bathroom and the bedroom, the noise was tolerable. The house is on a small lot, with a lot of dense housing nearby, but it seemed like a decent working-class neighborhood. The scent from the air freshener was overpowering when we arrived. My wife unplugged it soon after we arrived, and it gradually got better, but it was still powerful two days later. One exception to the tasteful decor, in my opinion, was the bathroom mirror, which has a hole in the middle oriented toward the toilet, and is several inches thick. My wife felt that the pillows in the bedroom were too hard, and too thick.
Overall, we felt that this was a nice place for a good price, but there were a few drawbacks.
