It was great staying with Jack and Trish. The room was private and clean, and the bed was super comfortable! For the first day my husband and I used public transportation, and the CalTrain station was about a 15 minute walk away, with bus stops even closer. Driving ourselves to San Francisco took about 25 minutes, and the airport was literally 7 minutes away. It was super easy to find parking within two blocks of the apartment complex (We were there during late October, so maybe that would be different during peak vacation times). The neighborhood and apartment is quiet, and though some people say the highway is loud outside, we found it quite soothing to hear as we opened the window at night. We saw Trish the most, and she was wonderful! She gave us the locations of a Safeway less than ten minutes away for our food needs. She was gracious enough to let us store our food in the fridge as well. Downtown San Mateo is cute and has lots of great restaurants as well. This place was just great!
