Stayed here for about a week, here's what I have to say:
Pros
- Accurate description and photos
- Aircon and electronic heater works well, with instructions on how to use
- Washer and dryer are working well and easy to use
- 5 minutes drive to Target, Taco Bell, McDonald's, Ikea, Nordstrum Rack, highway 101 entrance and a gas station, easy access to other parts of the bay area if you drive
Cons
- Drainage is not somewhat disappointing.
- Bath tub drains really slowly, taking around 10 - 15 minutes to drain after each bath, which is annoying for a place housing 4 people with only 1 bathroom
- Toilet bowl actually choked once, without any foreign objects other than human excrement, which led to the bath tub spitting out waste matter as well... Was not a nice time to clear it...
- Kitchen area is a little too small to actually cook anything since there's barely enough space for plates on the counter top, not to mention a cooker
- A drying rack would be a nice addition
- Located in East Palo Alto, which does not have a good reputation for being safe, there's a small patio / backyard area but I would not feel safe leaving my house at night to spend some time there
- 4 guests don't fit very well, despite stating that it's meant for 4 guests
- Neighbour out back was playing loud music and smoking weed on some nights
- Did not have enough toilet paper and kitchen towel for my week's stay
