The photos of the house are accurate. It is a very nice newly renovated house (Ikea kitchen) with a nice new big TV and lots of fans. I very much appreciated the back yard and deck. The deck is rather dirty, so even in sandals, you will find dust on your feet. the neighborhood is up and coming, so while some homes do not appear well cared for, it is safe. Close to downtown San Mateo with lots of restaurant choices. 15 minutes to SFO.
