Cecilia's home is really beautifully taken care of. She has put in a lot of effort in making the whole house (including the gardens) look great.
The private room is very comfortable and spacious and the shared bathroom (only shared with one other person) was kept clean. The kitchen and living room space upstairs were also fully at our disposable (Cecilia and her husband live downstairs separately) and kept clean as well.
Cecilia and her family were very welcoming and made us feel very much at home. They even went out of their way to help connect us with some people as we were looking for a place to stay in San Mateo for the summer.
The location is walking distance to downtown and the neighbourhood seems family-oriented.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend her place to anyone.
