Executive Guest House with king bed, premium hybrid mattress, 10 Gbps fiber, dedicated sit/stand workspace with Aeron chair and monitor, full kitchen, in-unit laundry, AC, fireplace, TV + projector, and courtyard.
Designed for work trips and extended stays, with easy self check-in, ample parking, and convenient access to Stanford, Kaiser, Sequoia Hospital, Caltrain, and Peninsula employers.
The space
This thoughtfully designed guest house is a comfortable home base for business travelers, visiting professionals, and extended stays.
The living area feels open and bright, with dramatic 17+ foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and upper windows with peaceful treetop views. Separate areas for working, relaxing, cooking, and sleeping make longer stays feel much more comfortable than a typical hotel room.
For work, there is a dedicated workspace setup with a Herman Miller Aeron chair, electric sit/stand desk, external monitor, keyboard, mouse, and ultra-fast Sonic 10 Gbps fiber internet. It is well suited for video calls, focused work, large file transfers, streaming, and longer remote-work stays.
The bedroom features a king-size bed with a premium hybrid mattress, organic cotton percale linens, blackout curtains, bedside charging, and a customized full-size wardrobe with generous storage.
The home is especially comfortable for up to 2 guests, while flexible sleeping arrangements can accommodate small families or groups when needed. In addition to the king bed, extra floor mattresses and sofa space are available for additional guests.
The home is exceptionally well equipped, with thoughtful essentials and everyday items conveniently stored throughout. A full kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, air conditioning, electric fireplace, coffee and snack setup, and courtyard make it easy to settle in and feel at home.
Smart TVs include complimentary access to Netflix and HBO Max, and the home also offers a projector for movie nights or relaxed evenings in.

Guest access

About the nearby Caltrain:
The home is close to the Caltrain tracks, which makes Peninsula transit especially convenient. Caltrain now runs quieter, cleaner electric trains along this corridor. While an occasional passing train may be heard, many of our previous guests have commented on how quiet and peaceful the home feels, with several saying they hardly noticed the trains at all.
Accessibility note:
The bathroom has a tub/shower combination with a higher step-over threshold. Guests with mobility, balance, or knee concerns may prefer a walk-in shower setup and should keep this in mind when booking.
