The Place: Awesome little studio behind the main house close to downtown San Mateo. It looks like it was recently remodeled, so it was very bright and clean. The entrance is a little funky having to navigate through 3 doors and a flight of stairs, but you do feel secure. The Neighborhood: The house is on a busy street but the noise level is at a minimum. Lots of places to eat and drink nearby, so the lack of a kitchen is not missed. There is a little fridge, so you can keep a few beers cold. Everything was walkable and very close to Caltrain, too. The Host: Eric is an awesome host, very responsive and available. Overall, a great place in San Mateo. I'd definitely recommend!
