If it were possible to give more stars than 5, I would! I stayed in the cottage for two months to heal (nearby Stanford) with one family member who was working part-time remotely. From the get-go, Kirsten was absolutely gracious and communicative re: the space, the neighborhood, and all the details related to check-in, and more.The cottage is exactly as described and pictured: it is private, quiet, and and surrounded by beautiful landscaping. Indoors, the high ceilings and skylights bring in lots of light and it's exceptionally spacious and well laid-out (eg you won't feel "cramped" at all). There is plenty of space and resources for one person to work without bothering the other! And, everything you need is on-hand: washer/dryer; dishwasher; fully-equipped kitchen, and perhaps the best -- heated floors in the bathroom. The neighborhood is surprisingly quiet and easily walkable despite being close to downtown Redwood City (restaurants and shopping are all very close by). And, if you are looking for less urban nearby places to explore, there are numerous county parks and open-space areas -- many among the redwoods, or along the bay, for beautiful walks. I am so grateful to Kirsten for her hospitality, and for the time I had in her cottage. I would happily stay here again.
