We enjoyed our stay, the place itself was pretty good, apart from small improvements that could be done (below). The neighbourhood itself isn’t too great, the neighbours at times were noisy, and even the normal movements by the neighbours were heard (walking, closing doors). Neighbours did not observe night quiet time and even when we’d be falling asleep at 12am we’d still here loud noises upstairs.
A few things that were good:
- Dedicated parking spot right outside the apartment building (only one)
- The host is super responsive, never had to wait to get an answer
- The unit is pretty large, you walk into a living room, go past the kitchen, then bathroom, and end up in the bedroom
- The cinema style reclining seats were amazing. We enjoyed watching many shows and movies
- Busy El Camino Real street has lots of restaurants in a walkable distance and of course SFO is like 10 minutes away
A few things that can be improved:
- Another light in the bedroom, there was only one lamp for two nightstands, we had to take turns to read before bed
- The floor throughout the unit is tile and is pretty cold. Since there’s no rug in the bedroom you wake up and place your feet on the ice cold floor followed by the ice cold floor in the bathroom
- Windows and window treatments are old and filthy. I had to wash my hands every time I touched them to open the window
- No shelves in the shower. If you bring your own shampoo you’d have to struggle finding place where to put it
- Found only 5 hangers in the closet. Definitely needs more hangers. Also more shelves.
