Good location, clean. Was a bit surprised that it was a backyard guest house, but it was quite cosy

Great backyard ADU. Super quiet and comfortable while being close to caltrain and restaurants. Everything was really clean and well supplied for travelers staying for a couple of days.

Minimal but functional in-law unit in a very convenient downtown location. I found the bed and couch pretty comfortable. Heating is provided by a pair of plugin radiators, which don't throw off a ton of heat. TV is very basic, 1080p (not 4K) and doesn't come with streaming services or support airplay (I wound up buying an HDMI cable to connect it to my mac). Should be totally fine if you just need a place to crash; unfortunately I got sick and had to spend much more time hanging out in the unit than I had planned.
