The space
COVID SAFETY: We will provide hand soap and sanitizer in the bathroom and disposable masks (free of charge). If you want us to sanitize the entire unit with ozone, please let us know in advanced and additional 1 hour cleaning time. This could potentially delay the checkin time by a hour or so.
Welcome to our renovated guest suite (it is attached to the main house through an adjoining wall) facing our amazing courtyard surrounded by fruit trees. It offers a full size kitchen, AC, brand new Samsung smart TV, fast mesh network WiFi (~120Mbps), Whole House Premium Water (drinkable water drink any tap), luxurious queen bed (Amerisleep AS3 - $1,200 Mattress), day bed with 2 spring mattress, mid century modern dinette set from West Elm, night side table with lamp and a snack bar with some refreshing tea, coffee (K-cup), etc.
Your bathroom is fully equipped with fresh towels and toiletries for your use.
While we do vacuum and mop the floor every single time, but we don’t require guests / cleaning crews to take off their shoes while in the suite. Therefore, we don’t recommend going barefoot in the suite.
You will be able to self check-in, but please confirm your reservation and checkin instruction beforehand, especially when you plan to checkin really late - we might be at sleep.
An unique virtual key will be generated automatically for the duration of your stay. The key will be valid starting at 3:00pm of the check-in date and expired at 11:00am on the check-out date.
To ensure we have a safe and secure place for everyone staying with us. Your door will be automatically locked in 30 seconds. The property is equipped with video surveillance 24/7.

Guest access
My family mainly occupied the front side of the house, so all guests will enter through the driveway. The guest suites are located under the porch, will have its own private entrance with digital key lock. To access the keypad, cover your lock to wake up the lock, enter the pin and press (the checkmark). Wait for the lock to retract, then enter the suite. Then close the door, and turn the knob to the left (it will automatically lock as well), so the door is locked.
Please always check the lock of the door when you leave. To lock the door, press any key on the keypad, you will hear the lock engage. The door is locked.
Other things to note
We set the Nest thermostat to automatically set the temperature automatically between 68 - 78 Fahrenheit for the guest suite (AC/Heat). In the hot and cold days, please close all the doors and windows to help regulate the temperature.
NOTE: We are currently adding a tiny guest house (160 sf) at the back of the property (you won't see it till you are in the courtyard), so we may have to move some materials through the courtyard between 9a-5p during the week. Sorry for any potential inconvenience we cause, but we will do our best to keep the common area clean and minimize any interruptions.
