Lei’s place fits our needs while visiting the Bay Area.
This in-law apartment is bright and very clean, just like the photos. It has a separate entrance from Lei’s upstairs house. Wifi is excellent. Street parking in this residential neighborhood is easy to find.
We were pleasantly surprised by how close and convenient the Hillsdale Mall is. It’s only 6 minutes drive to my favorite morning Philz coffee. It’s less than 10 min drive to the cute downtown San Mateo.
There is no functional kitchen with the unit, just a wet bar. However, since I don’t usually cook when I travel, the microwave and coffee maker are efficient.
Laundry is not in unit so we got too lazy to ask Lei for access. But it’s there if you need to do laundry.
Lei is very attentive and proactive. Upon arrival she prepared bottled water and small snacks for us in the apartment. During our stay she would check with me to see if need anything else. Wonderful host!
