About the host

Hosted by Kirsten McKay

Host profile image
I'm an interior designer with a passion for creating beautiful living spaces and gardens. I purchased my 1920's home because of its beautiful architecture and its location in a safe, serene, tree-filled neighborhood where neighbors actually know each other.

I designed and built the cottage because I wanted to create a space like the kind I like to find when traveling for business/pleasure in a different city/country. Something unique and stylish, that provides all the luxury and comforts, that's located in a lovely neighborhood that lets you feel like you're living here versus just visiting.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is located in the original historic home section of Redwood City, with wide well maintained sidewalks and streets, where you see people out walking, jogging, enjoying the neighborhood or strolling downtown for coffee, dinner or a movie.

I'm 15 minutes walking distance from the charming downtown with nice pubs, restaurants and a convenient bullet train station to SF, and only a 5 minute drive from either 101 or 280 (connecting highways to San Francisco and San Jose and all points north and south). It's also an easy 7 miles -15 minute drive to Stanford University/Palo Alto.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful interior and exterior space. Private and peaceful. A welcome respite in the Silicon Valley. Within walking distance of the Caltrain bullet station and a cool, interesting downtown.
