I had a fantastic stay in San Mateo. My trip would have been drab if I’d stayed in the local hotel. I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Dennis, but his awesome and accommodating partner in crime, Molly, is a delight! Molly is a wealth of information and a fantastic guide. During my stay, she kindly led me on walks to delicious/cheap food, the local grocery store, and pointed out a ton of beautiful citrus plants along the way (she’s a citrus ninja). Molly is an experienced Naturopath and was filled with great tidbits that fascinate a medicine nerd like myself. If she ever starts selling her face lotion, I’ll be the first in line. 😉 I didn’t use the kitchen much, but Molly makes you feel welcome to use whatever. There is a reverse osmosis water thing for filling your water bottle and plenty of dishes and cups and any other thing you may need. There were several coffee gadgets, from simple to fancy, a basket full of oatmeal, granola bars, eggs and other goodies to satisfy snacking needs or a a simple breakfast. The bathroom was clean and the shower pressure was sooooo nice compared to what I’m used to. Even though the bathroom is shared, it was never an issue. I’d just suggest checking with your bedroom neighbor (if another guest is there) about your shower schedule if you’re concerned. Never a problem for me. The wifi worked perfectly and reliably. The bed has a fantastic heating blanket thing on the mattress that will make you melt into a restful bliss and there is a small space heater in the closet to use on chilly nights. WARNING: Set your alarm before you crawl into bed. I blacked out 3 of my 5 nights and woke up with the lights still on, face on my books, and no alarm set. Blacked OUT. I’m 34 with a fussy back and I was sooooo comfortable in the Palm room. There were more pillow choices than I could count. If a pillow fight had broken out, I’d have been set. Very comfy. The neighborhood is very safe and neighbors are friendly. Lyft or Uber can be there within 6 minutes or so most of the time and it’s about a 20ish dollar ride to the airport. (Although you could hop a free airport shuttle to or from the doubletree burlingame and then call a lyft and pay half that). A lyft into “Frisco” will cost you about 30-40 bucks, but if you split the ride with friends, it’s not so bad. There are also “lime” bikes around that you can rent and Molly has a helmet you can borrow, as well as bike locks and a bike if they’re not being used already. The start of the bike trail that follows along the bay, begins less than two blocks from the house. I would absolutely stay with at Dennis and Molly’s place again and thank them for a great stay. I...
