What a wonderful experience! Our first time using airbnb. Our friends had recommended Carla's place, but we didn't expect everything to be as perfect as it was. Carla stayed in contact with us on the day of our arrival letting us know exactly when the unit was ready. She met us at her front door and showed us to her lovely back yard apartment. It was clean and bright and spacious. The kitchenette had every imaginable amenity. As did the bathroom, with soft fluffy towels and rugs. There was an armoir for hanging clothes with 3 spacious drawers. A couch and huge flat screen TV with many movie channels. A comfortable bed topped it all off. It was absolutely everything we could have hoped for. From that point on it was like we were in our own tiny house in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. We rarely saw or heard Carla or her family. The Casita is within easy walking distance to downtown San Mateo. We stayed 7 nights, and were sad to have to move on as Carla had other guests arriving. We hope to be back soon!
