Eric's place was very comfortable and he was an excellent communicator. The location is great, easy walk to downtown San Mateo, where you can find just about everything. If you are checking in after dark, you may want to use a flashlight on your phone, as the street can be very dark and it's hard to see the house numbers. But it's a very safe area, and very quiet, peaceful location. The value for what you pay for renting is great! I highly recommend this place.
