My stay in San Francisco Bay Area on the Peninsula 'San Mateo County' there specifically Redwood City- Emerald Hills was just like visiting home. As I use to own a home in same town (7-8 blocks away for past 10yrs.)
Silvia and her family were warm and welcoming host family!!
From the comfort and safety and privacy to being centrally located to everything. I couldn't ask for more. It was perfect. Although I didn't have much contact with the communication was great through here and direct cell, Silvia was very attentive!!
Although there was no kitchette - There was a Coffee maker & Frig, it worked out simply because I ate out and had no need to cook. In addition, the fellow roomates whom were also ladies were very pleasant!!
Thank you Silvia for opening up your home, and providing a wonderful Summer retreat in a pinch in the midst of my travels!! Also appreciated the privilege of use of your beautiful swimming pool!! I definitely recommend for anyone who is visiting for a short time or a student studying abroad!
