I have to tip my sobrero to Marcus. Even though he was traveling outside of the country, we still managed to make sure everything went smooth with my stay on the house boat. His help, Drew, was such a great resource to have waiting for me at the to make sure we had a personal welcome. Very impressed and I would definitely recommend to any one willing to try something new and exciting. Nothing compares, in my opinion to sleeping on the water!

Our stay here was nothing short of phenomenal and if I could give 10 stars I would! So peaceful, and the people in the surrounding boats were more than welcoming, it was truly the best place we could have stayed. It's a beautiful place and Marcus was great, always available for questions even while he was out of the country, very pleasant to communicate with. The neighbors introduced their animals to us and invited us to watch the sunset with them, and always had a pleasant conversation whenever we passed by on our way out somewhere. Very close to some cool local places and also to public transportation. I hope that it is available for future trips, as it was a very special one :)

This home was great and so was the host (Marcus). We were looking for a place to kick back and relax and that's just what we got. Marcus gave us good restaurant recommendations, provided basic necessities and more. Grub Hub even delivered us a midnight snack.

Very peaceful and relaxing the view was really great first time staying in a boat and it was fun

Marcus was a great host-- very knowledgeable about the area. There are beautiful views on the boat!

I had such a fantastic time staying on Marcus' boat! It was a unique experience with beautiful scenery and a friendly boat community. We met the warmest and most welcoming people. The area was super quiet and we loved sitting on top of the boat to soak up the sun--even had a little seal friend visit us a couple times. So fun!

Marcus was beyond accommodating even though he was in another country. I messaged him in desperation for a place to stay requesting even to bend some of his house rules in an attempt to find my ideal housing for the night. He even introduced me to some of his friends that i hung out with within minutes of "moving in" for the night. Marcus has been my best airbnb host to date.

Staying at The Whisper was a really enjoyable experience. I hadn't stayed on a boat before and Marcus, his boat, and the community made it one I'll always remember. Awesome boat, awesome people.

The apartment is pretty nice. Beds are comfortable and access is very easy. The isolation between rooms are not perfect that I can hear my parents in another room. The only concern is that the parking spaces are not easy to find on the arch st but much easier to get from other streets nearby.

Very nice and spacious apartment located conveniently close to the train station. Host was very responsive and accommodating to our needs.

As always! A wonderful stay! Very clean and a wonderful location!

This was a fantastic condo in a great location - walking distance to Starbucks and restaurants. It was comfortable, had the basic necessities that you would need to cook, clean and be comfortable, and was really quiet. If you're looking for a place in Redwood City to stay with privacy, I would highly recommend this one.

Kevin was the perfect host and landlord! He was always super responsive and helpful in meeting any and all of our needs. He was very flexible and understanding if any issues arose, and he was very generous in providing extra sheets, towels, etc. The apartment came fully stocked with modern appliances, and everything was beautiful and airy. The neighborhood was really nice. The only slight downsides were that the bathroom was in the master bedroom, there were few drawers in the second bedroom, and the closet in the hall opened to block the hallway. Overall, we were very happy with the apartment, its location (only half a mile from the Caltrain and downtown Redwood City), and Kevin!

Excellent location! Clean, quiet, and as advertised. Super convenient -- within a few blocks of CalTrain and downtown Redwood City. I'd stay at Kevin's place again.

Great place!

Really happy with the services and the apartment! Kevin was really prompt in responding to us.

We had a great stay. Everything was very clean and there were lots of amenities. The location is perfect with easy access to excellent dinner, shopping and the train. May took wonderful care of us and she is amazingly responsive and accommodating. The apartment was the perfect size for us (two people). Thanks for everything.

We had a terrific stay here, close to downtown and perfect, while visiting family nearby. Kitchen was well-equipped with high quality appliances, cookware and other necessities. May was easy to work with and we appreciated the treats that welcomed us. We look forward to our return. Thank you.

We had a great experience. The apartment was in a convenient location, not far from the Caltrain station. The place was clean and exactly as described in the listing.

I booked May's place for my family over the holidays. She did everything she could to make sure they had a comfortable stay.

Wonderful place with very responsive and gracious hosts. It was very nice, clean, comfortable and safe. Great ameneties. It was very convenient to Palo Alto and Menlo Park. It was a wonderful home away from home. Thank you!!! Highly recommended!!!

I had a lovely stay at this apartment. It was located conveniently to some family I was visiting, and the apartment was clean and very comfortable to stay in.

It was exactly what I was looking for my stay in the Bay Area. Nice place, convenient location, and great host!

I booked this place for my sister's family when they were visiting from the east coast, and they (two adults and two kids) had a great stay! The location is great since they had to visit friends in north Bay (SF) as well as south Bay (SJ). They enjoyed walking around the cute neighborhood with various dining options nearby. The place itself is super clean and has very comfy beds. I would definitely recommend this place for families visiting the Bay Area.

Very nice quiet location up in the hills. Hiking trails nearby. The room has it's own balcony with chairs. Henri is proactive about sorting out any issues that arise during the stay.

Beautiful setting, great host, amazing value.

OK to live

I stayed at this cozy and conveniently located guest house for four days. The property is very clean and has all the amenities anyone may need. You are allowed to park your car in the driveway which is a big convenience. The owners also run the best breakfat place in Palo Alto, Joanie's which I highly recomend to anyone. Without any doubt, this is going to be my first choice when planning my next trip to Silicon Valley.

Great place, very comfortable accommodations, close to a park and walking distance to town for shopping and food. The location was very private and the host, Bernard, was really nice and willing to provide suggestions and any directions I asked. Would definately recommend to anyone traveling through!

Fantastic private space in the heart of historic Professorville, a short walk to University Ave restaurants and shops. Unit is behind the main house and has it's own private entrance. It is a small, fully self-contained apartment - small kitchen area, living room, bedroom and bathroom. All recently remodeled, tastefully furnished, comfortable and clean. I'll be backl!

Beautifully furnished 1 bedroom apartment in a fancy neighborhood. Close walk to downtown Palo Alto and shopping centers. Very private and secure.

Bernard's flat is wonderful....clean, comfortable, well equipped, and tastefully furnished....a little piece of Provence in Palo Alto. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, and conveniently located. Bernard was a great host. I give his place an enthusiastic recommendation.

Fantastic place very conveniently located near Stanford and downtown Palo Alto. The check-in process was seamless. The apartment is perfectly clean, newly remodeled, and very comfortable. Thank you for a great place -- I will definitely keep this place in mind for future visits to Stanford!

This apartment is in a great location. Michael was very kind and communication was easy. The place was clean and prepared. The air conditioning is only in the loft, so the main room was a bit warmer during the day. There were plenty of towels and blankets and a fridge full of bottled water. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location. Very convenient for downtown Palo Alto

Michael is a great host and was always in touch and helpful. His place is central and close to everything. A wonderful experience.

The house is great, fully equipped and very clean. Christian is very nice and welcomed me and showed me the house during checkin. He also prepared various food. It is a great place to stay.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Shivendra's place was very comfortable and clean. It is in a safe neighborhood near Palo Alto and Menlo Park. It is also very close to the Pace Gallery and many great places to dine in Palo Alto. If you have a car while you stay here you are also about half an hour drive away from great hiking spots! Overall I enjoyed my stay at his place and would recommend it to a friend!

Friendly couple renting out their second bedroom and apartment they live when away. Location is good, and super quiet at night. This is a top floor (3) apartment, so affords privacy (no curtains or blinds in living area though, hopefully they will add in future). Good safe neighborhood.

Shivendra and his family were gracious enough to allow my family to stay for the weekend and made using Airbnb very easy! The pictures are accurate and I appreciated the cleanliness of their place. Parking was a breeze and so was sharing their place with them. I would definitely stay again! Thank you Shivendra!

The pictures are just like they said. The home was comfortable and they were kind to leave us a bottle of Champagne for our 35th Anniversary. Such a nice thing to do for us. They communicated quickly and took care of any need. I would recommend highly this Cozy Condo. Thanks to them both!!!

Place was nice! Very clean!

There was a mix up and we booked the entire house, but the host ended up coming home. They did stay in their own bedroom, but I felt uncomfortable because that was not what I was expecting. I ended up getting a refund. If you want to rent a private room the place is perfectly fine, but that is not what I was wanting.

Beautiful converted garage / cottage walking distance from downtown Palo Alto. I personally found the bed to be uncomfortable (firm, like plywood), but your mileage may vary. The shower was on the small side, but the water was very powerful. That means when you open the shower door, water sprays everywhere in the bathroom, and there might not be room to pick up dropped soap (especially if you don't want to get your hair wet). Aside from that, the place is beautiful. Nice breeze if you leave the windows open, easy to get in and out of. Easy check-in procedure. Flexible hosts.

Sunny's home was lovely for a 10 day stay. Great location and very clean home.

Very convenient neighborhood with walking distance to downtown Palo Alto. The cottage is actually quite spacious with full facilities (except kitchen). The communication was smooth. When I had a glitch with hot water, Sunny came within 10 mins to fix it. I'd definitely come back next time and recommend anyone visiting the area staying here.

A lovely, adorable and cute place to stay. The host was very kind and I felt safe as well as welcomed. I am grateful for my stay

Nice little cottage - very quiet with all you need! Sunny was very responsive to all our questions etc. We really enjoyed our stay !

I really enjoyed staying at Sunny's place. Everything was very clean. The cottage is close to University Avenue (lots of restaurants), and is about a 15 minutes walk from the train station (8$ Uber ride at the time of writing). The neighborhood is residential and safe. As was mentioned in a previous review, the mattress is quite hard. Otherwise, everything was great. Sunny was also very quick to reply to emails/messages. Great place to stay if you visit Palo Alto. I recommend it. Thank you!

Great place,pictures on wall were all crooked tho

My family had a good time here. Simple but essential things are here.

It was in a really nice area and the house itself was really clean.

Great, clean place to stay. Thanks!

Everything was clean and functional. We enjoyed the stay.

The rental is plain and Minimalistic. Needs a little more decor to Make it more inviting and comfortable. Need to make necessary repairs to the front door. Place could be a Little more clean. Owners very accessible by phone.

Anna and her husband were very great at communication. We loved the privacy of the property we stayed at above the garage. Any questions we had they got back to us very quickly! The place was very big and open especially the kitchen. It was perfect for our stay.

Very spacious, clean and cozy apartment. Ample parking space, the host was very communicative. Lovely kitchen, had a very comfortable stay.
