The place was always cold. The inverters (heaters) in each room were old and inefficient. The digital readouts on these inverters were too bright for sleeping. Additionally, there are sky lights in each of the bedrooms which let in way too much light at night. The place is old. Further, the parking was a long ways from the unit and I didn't trust the neighborhood to leave my car safe at night. They also requested that I clean the dishes, which I had only 2 dishes and 3 pieces of silverware. But why am I paying so much in cleaning fees? I actually got another VRBO for the final night because I was so uncomfortable in this place.

My friend and I stayed here for 10 weeks, and we couldn't wait to leave. This listing is clearly not built for extended stays. From the get-go, the listing said there was a dishwasher. There is no dishwasher in the unit. Since we planned to do a lot of cooking during our 10 weeks, this was a big deal for us. The listing also said there was a stove and oven, but in the fine print of the details lies the truth: it's only a single induction stove-top and a little mini-oven that couldn't fit anything, further limiting our cooking options. The property managers told us that every 28 days, a cleaning crew would come in and clean everything. No cleaning crew every showed (and we know this because we kept track of each 28th day and the house never looked cleaner, even after we came back). While my roommate and I were more than happy to clean up after ourselves, and we did, it's more the fact that the property managers completely lied about this cleaning staff coming in. My roommate and I were both here for computer science internships, so naturally, Wi-Fi was a big necessity. I had inquired about the Wi-Fi strength prior to moving in to the residence, and we had been promised speeds of 35 mbps. Once we arrived, we were getting top speeds of 2-3 mbps. We immediately complained, and the property managers said they would contact the Wi-Fi company. This went on for awhile, until one day, the Wi-Fi completely went out. I messaged the property managers and they sent a link saying that the Wi-Fi was out in the neighborhood. My roommate and I were satisfied with this for a couple days, but we kept noticing that all our neighbors' had Wi-Fi. We kept messaging, resorting to messaging every day, and we kept getting non-responses. Finally, after a MONTH with no Wi-Fi, the property managers replaced our router. After replacing our router, the Wi-Fi worked again. What really upset us was that we had spent a month telling them that there was an issue with the router and it needed replacement, and they had kept sending back the same thing, not taking our concerns seriously. Issues with the Wi-Fi happened a few more times, and since we didn't have access to the router (it was in the main house), they had to fix it. Each time we had to be persistent and message every day in order to get someone to come reset the router, and each time they kept sending back the EXACT SAME LINK as the first time, which we had already shown did not apply to us, before relenting.

This was a plain basic two-bedroom, worked well for my sister and I in town for visiting family. Right at the intersection of major roads, so easy to get in all directions.. Starbucks around the corner, so breakfasts were easy. Pleasant seats in yard for sitting out while eating our take-in lunches. Management very responsive for dealing with some maintenance issues.

We came to town for a couple days of business as the pandemic was easing. Marbella was perfect...great location, reserved parking, sparkling clean, and totally equipped. Happy to discover PublicGoods soaps and shower products here. Quiet and private setting. Owners immediately responsive by email when we asked to extend our stay. Worked out beautifully. We’d love to stay here again!

Great location, we could walk to a couple of restaurants. Quiet. Extremely comfortable beds. Wonderful place to stay.

Nice house for a work trip to the area!

We needed to attend a trade show and this property was close to downtown Redwood City. It is clean and adequate. Suggestion please add lighting to the side entry as it is very dark and could cause a trip hazard. Also it would be nice to have a TV. Thanks for all the help!

Nice clean quiet place to spend the night while on a short business trip.
