Location: This Airbnb is located in a small commercial center, the Redwood Village. It does have an interesting history. Please check it out on the Web. There are about 13 cottages. The cottages are various businesses such as a deli and coffee shop, hair salon, Pilates studio, etc. One of the cottages has been converted to this Airbnb. There are two additional commercial complexes/buildings on site with offices. There is a possibility that there maybe one or two residential units as the owner of the shop living above or to the side of a cottage. It is very isolated at night since there appears to be no or limited residential neighbors and the businesses are closed. This needed to be disclosed/clarified in the description and definitely before booking. It was uncomfortable, a bit creepy and awkward at night.
The cottage: It was very nice, upgraded and very clean. We loved the unique layout of the bedrooms and barn doors. Beds were extremely comfortable. Showers had a great design. Beautiful redwood forest behind the cottage and off the patio. The kitchen door needs to have a darker curtain for privacy from the customers that park in front of Airbnb.
