Jack and Trish were good hosts, I stayed in their place for a month while I was looking for a new place in the Peninsula. The room is fairly Spartan but does the job. Jack is also an avid cook so you can learn some new culinary tricks while you are there. I would not walk outside the immediate area or even to the train station as the area does not feel very safe, however Uber rides to the train station and San Mateo downtown are only $5 and airport runs can be as cheap as $10. Finally, they both have a good sense of the area so can give you a lot of great tips on things to do and a very nice people overall.
