It was a pleasure having you and your family stay here! We're thrilled that a private chef loved our "chef's kitchen"--really validated our design. We'd love to have you again!
We received a warm welcome from our hosts, Brian and Oonee. The residence is well laid out with an excellent kitchen that is well equipped and super well supplied with zip lock bags, plastic wrap, soaps etc. The laundry facilities are similarly well supplied. The home was immaculate. I would highly recommend this rental, especially for those who might need to be to the nearby Stanford Medical Center which was our situation.

Tucker and his beautiful wife are incredible folks who took excellent care of the property and are very easygoing. We continue to pray for a full and speedy recovery and that your next travels will be to celebrate it! Godspeed
We enjoyed our two week stay while we visited our grandson and his parents. The hosts were attentive to our needs. The property was convenient, comfortable and clean. We walked around the neighbourhood every day and enjoyed the California weather (blue sky everyday) and the Halloween displays.
We loved staying at the home in Redwood City while we put our home on the market. Onnee and Brian are great hosts and the space was perfect for us. Would highly recommend if you are visiting the Bay Area or need a temporary living space.
The host is super nice and immediately responsive. The kitchen is great for cooking and nicely equipped. The kitchen-den area is great for gathering, which we did with our adult children. The beds were very comfortable and the house was very clean. The Internet was better than I've ever had in a rental (obviously fiber). The street parking was basically wide open all the time so no problem.
We found that the property had been misrepresented. The yards had trash, clutter and even dog poop everywhere. The home was filthy with dust and the home smelled strongly of fish and dog urine. Further, the home did not have some advertised amenities. The owner, Onnee then came over and we could tell that she was “interesting” (Midwest sense). Her small dog growled at my wife and tried to bite her. Onnee warned that the dog bites. OK, then why bring the dog? Despite the fact that the home was dirty and smelly, Onnee clearly has some an obsession issue regarding other peoples’ germs. First, she asked that all guests remove their shoes in the home. A bit odd for a rental place. Second, she requires doctors to remove white coats before entering the home and lists bacteria that she can become infected with. Weird, right? Then, she started yelling at us because we were not wiping the feet of our dogs. Very weird. She then became completely unhinged and told us to leave the home and go check into a hotel. She was following us around recording with a phone and threatening everyone. She said we “needed to pay” and that we were damaging her furniture because we set a computer bag on a chair while we packed up. My 10yo daughter was literally fearful for her safety. Even though the owners cancelled before we checked in, they attempted to keep 100% of the payment. They are both dishonest and unethical. Luckily, I had all of this documented and 100% of our money was returned by VRBO.
