This is my first time staying at an Airbnb that I booked myself for a business trip (I previously had stayed at various Airbnb properties booked by my team lead or company), so I was a little nervous about what to expect. I had nothing to worry about!
I had meetings at the Google campuses in both Sunnyvale and Mountain View, and this place is well-located. It's super-clean -- cleaner than some high-end hotels I've stayed in! -- and well-stocked with linens, kitchen supplies, bathroom amenities, and even snacks! I loved the little details: the host offered not just regular shampoo & conditioner (Pantene) but also Head & Shoulders (my preferred brand), which was a delightful touch! Lots of little additions like individually-packaged floss (a lifesaver because I ran out), microwave popcorn, and even one of those water fountains with both hot and cold water. Bed is Super comfortable, too. Overall, this was definitely relaxing, hassle-free.
There's a bus stop right out front (although I used Uber and Lyft throughout my stay so I don't know what route the bus takes), as well as an easy in-easy out driveway and parking lot. I never had trouble with Uber or Lyft drivers finding me. Plus, there's a little shopping strip a short walk down the street with a CVS, a few restaurants, beauty salon, and local hardware store.
The apartment overlooks a busy street, and you can definitely hear people talking outside, but it was actually really quiet most of the time. Never had trouble going to sleep or working or otherwise just chilling out. The owners/hosts live on-site in an apartment upstairs in the same building, but otherwise I only ever saw Min when I arrived the first night. She very kindly gave me a quick tour of the apartment and pointed out where everything was.
I will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in the Silicon Valley area, either for business or leisure. Great, great value!
