The space
Layout:
• First Floor: The main level features a small toilet, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a laundry room, and a cozy living room.
• Second Floor: Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a full bathroom. One bedroom has a king-size bed, perfect for parents or couples, and the other is set up with a bunk bed for kids. If needed, we also have a single-size floor mattress for extra sleeping arrangements.

Guest access
Depending on the agreement, we may need to lock the garage to store some of our personal items. If this is the case, the downstairs toilet will also be unavailable for use. However, the rest of the house, including the two bedrooms, full bathroom upstairs, living spaces, and backyard, will be entirely yours to enjoy!
Notes
Our Home and Your Stay
As this is our primary home, you’ll find some of our personal items throughout the house. While we’ll try to keep a few things separate, most of our belongings will be accessible. Our kids are excited to share their toys and books (suitable for ages 2-8) with you, so please feel free to enjoy them!
We kindly ask that you treat the space with the same respect you would your own home. We’ll be sure to do the same for you! 🙏🏻

Sunny
Hi there! We’re a family of four living in Burlingame, California, right in the heart of the Bay Area. I’m a stay-at-home mom to our little ones, though I’m a veterinarian at heart, and my husband, Pieter, works as a director in biotech. I’m originally from South Korea, Pieter is from the Netherlands, and before we made our home here, we lived in China, New Zealand, and Japan. We’ve been fortunate to travel to many countries and over 100 cities together, and now we’re excited to start showing our little ones the world! With a second grader, we try to plan trips around school holidays, but we’re flexible and happy to chat about any plans!
