Susan, the host, asked me to write a review. I don't have time for those types of things but chances are I will rent her place again and again so here is my $0.02.
About the host:
Susan is a great host. Great communicator. She was very fast in responding to my messages and text. We were not able to open the smart lock. Asked her and she replied in 30 seconds. I also requested a late (5PM) check out and she said yes right after I asked. From the beginning to the end, her tone was very polite, I would say much more like a high end hotel front desk than a typical homeowner.
So I will give the host a solid 5 star.
About the house:
The house is very nice. I had stayed at many airbnb places in the past---I will give you more background information below --- and this place certainly stands out. It is exceptionally clean and modern. Much nicer than my own home.
The house appears to be targeting a higher taste audience, which could be a mistake on her side because there may not be a lot of those customers on airbnb, but it fits my needs perfectly. The whole place is much more like a nice hotel or an office, and it doesn't give you too much "personality" of a typical Airbnb home. And I appreciate this a lot since this is what I need.
Kitchen is nice. Obvious high end european style cabinets, Bosch appliances, etc.. but I didn't use them so I can only say it gives me a sense of cleanliness and taste.
Bathrooms are well designed. Every inch of space is planned out well. I also see Procelanosa fixtures throughout. I use the same brand in my own home. Those are considered high end stuff even by silicon valley standards. Towels are all new, made of cotton and are very heavy.
Bedrooms have working tables, which are extremely important to me because we need to work. Beds/mattress feel like new and very solid. I would say not as comfortable as Westin but close. Bed Sheets and other stuff are 100% new and they are cotton.
About myself: I work for a consulting company. Our customers include almost all big tech companies in the South bay. We work from home for the most part. My team (5 guys) will gather once a month to have some intensive meetings. Because 3 of the 5 guys moved out of the bay area, an Airbnb stay fits our needs the best.
Negatives:
No AC. It wasn't too hot though, but still it would be nice to have AC. Backyard is not paved or furnished.
No washer and dryer but I was told next time the washer and dryers will be there.
