Beautiful and Private Modern Cottage Close to Silicon Valley

Brew French press coffee in the kitchenette and drink it in the dappled light of a quiet backyard patio. It's charming and airy inside this modern cottage. A bright sleeping loft overlooks a cozy living room, where a sofa and shag rug are arranged in front of a fireplace. This stand-alone structure offers privacy and serenity. Its stylish decor boasts clean lines and a colorful vibe. For extra guests, the sofa pulls out to a queen-sized bed. This is 750 square feet of newly renovated, high-ceilinged and airy space, including a living area, spa-like bathroom, electric fireplace, kitchenette, eating area, outdoor patio and spacious sleeping loft that overlooks the area below. There is a queen-sized pull-out couch in the living room, in addition to the queen bed in the loft, which is upstairs and includes a dressing area. New furnishings throughout. Guests can access the cottage through a separate entrance on the property, behind the main house. There will be a host in the area or in the main house to help you should anything arise during your stay. My two children sometimes play in the yard or basketball in the drive. There's a sweet and gentle dog, Penny, who lives on the premises - she might say hello and then leave you alone. The cottage is in the Mt. Carmel neighborhood, a peaceful setting in the flatlands of Redwood City. There are tree-lined streets, flowers, and friendly neighbors—perfect for walking, running, and biking. It's a half mile to bustling downtown Redwood City, walking distance to the nearest Caltrain stop and five miles to Palo Alto and other Silicon Valley companies. Easy access to Hwy 101 and 280, Stanford, San Francisco, and much of the Silicon Valley peninsula. The Caltrain is a 1/2 mile walk (or a few minutes drive) which takes you to San Francisco in as little as 35 minutes and San Jose in 30. We are 2 Caltrain stops from Palo Alto, 5 from Mountain View. Walk, bike or drive to downtown Redwood City, just .6 miles away. 30 minute drive to the top of Skyline Drive to get away from it all for a run, hike or drive through the wooded hills overlooking the Valley and the Pacific Ocean. Access the entire Bay Area from this central location - use it as a home base for day trips to Napa Valley, Sonoma, Monterey and Carmel. Kitchenette has an electronic coffee maker, french press, small convection oven/microwave, two burners, tea pot, sink and a mini-fridge. There is a European style clothes washer/dryer combo unit for small loads -- clothes may need to be hung/aired for a short time on a drying rack (provided) to become fully dry.

Baytree Bungalow.

LaurenRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Booked this as my first solo AirBnB trip for 4 nights and absolutely loved it! The location was perfect, walkable to downtown and close to my family nearby! I highly recommend checking out the San Carlos Sunday Farmers market, it’s a nice walk from the house and has lots of local treasures to enjoy! Christopher was very welcoming and attentive to making my stay the best it could be - he made sure to ask if I needed anything each day. The room was very clean, had plenty of storage, and the remodeled bathroom is amazing! The shower’s pressure is perfect and the heated floors in the AM and PM were a nice addition! The room and bathroom attachment made it extra private and convenient. I also enjoyed the sitting area to across from the room. Christopher did well to make his place feel safe, friendly and a welcoming home!

Charming Cottage Studio

SyreetaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Belmont is situated in the perfect spot on the peninsula. Easy access to Palo Alto and points south, as well as San Francisco. The area is safe, the Caltrain is within walking distance, and there are plenty restaurant to the north and south. The space itself is a private room with a cabin vibe and a vintage feel. It works well for a short or longer stay. I was there 2 weeks and it was golden. No kitchen but plenty of restaurants and the grocery stores have lots to warm up for a good meal. It is small but I found that to be perfect. I would definitely stay again.

Sunny Sillicon Valley Getaway/Crashpad/Workspace

AndreaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The apartment was lovely and very clean, with lots of space for all the guests. My room was in great shape when I arrived and was cleaned by a cleaning lady halfway through my stay (19 days). The apartment is conveniently located close to both the bus stop and the Caltrain station (roughly a 10 minutes’ walk). Tammy was very kind and responsive, and one of the best hosts I met through Airbnb, always available to help me out and give me some food and places recommendations. She frequently offered us the (great!) food she prepared or left some for us to enjoy on the kitchen counter. One night I returned home very late, and she even left the light on outside for me. I can totally recommend it, and I would be glad to go back again if I need to stay in SF bay area!
