We were new to Airbnb and Jason was most helpful in answering our questions prior to our arrival. Check-in was a breeze and the welcome snack basket was much appreciated.

The location of the property is excellent if you would like to be based near San Francisco with occasional excursions into San Francisco and areas south of San Mateo. Driving into downtown San Fran (including to the West side, i.e. Golden Gate Park area) was generally within 30-35 minutes (including traffic). SFO airport is a 10 minute drive away. Having the Safeway around the corner (along with Chevron, CVS, Starbucks and a few other food outlets) was super useful. In addition there are dining options nearby within a 5 minute drive. Both Burlingame Ave and San Mateo downtown offer good restaurant options with decent parking availability.

The property was in immaculate condition with 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a comfortable (and well-decorated) living and dining area. There is central A/C and heating (for chilly nights). The kitchen is equipped with the necessary cooking utensils, lots of bowls and plates, and a well-stocked spice rack. The DVDs were also a nice surprise, and came in handy when we wanted to just chill. The backyard is lovely and equipped with a ping pong table (and ping pong paddles/balls). The area is quiet and peaceful. You do hear the CalTrain when it passes through (the train tracks are a few blocks west of the property), though it didn’t bother us at all.

The experience overall was excellent with Jason being available to answer any questions we had.
