Spent the entire summer at Dan’s place. The room is clean, spacious and very private. Besides a bed, there is a couch, a desk, a nightstand, small tables and plenty of storage space. There’s also a kitchenette so I could cook simple meals. Dan provides everything necessary for living.
Dan is a fantastic host. He’s nice, helpful and responsible, and provided much stuff in courtesy.
Dan’s house is close to downtown San Mateo (~10 mins walk), you can find a ton of restaurants there. It’s also close to the CalTrain station, which is a major station with express trains. Good location if you don’t have a car.
The only issue is that spiders sometimes get into the room, especially in May and June. It shouldn’t matter much if you are fine with spiders.
