Centrally located in downtown San Mateo. Walkable to coffee, grocery, restaurants and the train station. Well appointed kitchen (had everything we needed to make a holiday dinner and baked treats) and 2 roomy bedrooms. Beautiful backyard space with seating and fire table. Would Definitely recommend. ##### Kelly M. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa D. 12 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Wi-fi worked well. I'm not sure it was clear from the listing that the unit is upstairs, which was a down-side for my 83-year-old mother. But it was nice and private, kitchen was equipped well enough for us, and the washer and dryer was a nice bonus. Parking was available behind the building, but it was too tight for our Ford Transit van, so we used street parking, usually available within a couple blocks. Safe neighborhood. We couldn't figure out how to make the stopper work in the bathroom sink, so my husband struggled to shave, but maybe that was just us. ##### Teresa D.

Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Lia S. 28 Sept 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Some highs, some lows Several good things about this stay: the owners were easy to contact and very responsive, the location was extremely convenient to downtown San Mateo and to the airport, and everything in the unit (bed, couch, desk area) was comfortable for living, working, and sleeping. However, the kitchen could have been better supplied (there were two coffeemakers but no kettle, limited plates and bowls so we had to hand wash daily, and no basic pantry staples such as cooking oil or salt), and the unit didn't seem clean – the bathroom storage area was covered in hair, and there was trash in the garbage cans when we arrived. The shared walls made this unit less quiet than we hoped, the promised "parking spot" was actually shared with other units as well, and there was a plumbing issue while we were there, although the owners were very apologetic and helped make it right for us quickly and appropriately. ##### Lia S. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian E., Sao Paulo, Brazil 15 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Upstairs Apartment The bedrooms are big and the whole place lives larger than the square footage. We enjoyed being walking distance to food and coffee. It was a great place for our working vacation. ##### Brian E. Stayed 21 nights in May 2021 ---
