Imran's place worked out very well for us. We stayed at Imran's for one week in early August.The bed is very comfortable and the unit was very clean and well supplied with towels and extra blankets. Taz, Imran's friend, warmly welcomed us, showed us around the place and gave us suggestions for and directions to nearby stores. She also gave us access to the laundry room to do a load of laundry. The room is well appointed with a microwave, toaster oven (which we used to heat pizza from nearby Trader Joe's) and a small fridge. The deck is the perfect spot for coffee in the morning (and for drying out our tent after camping in the rain.) The room has its own private access. The house is located less than a ten minute drive from down town San Carlos, and we had no problem parking on the street when we returned at night. Tip: we expected to pay $5 a day to to park in at Cal Train station, but we parked in the city parking garage on four days when we took the train to the city. Even though a sign says "3 hour maximum" we parked from morning until night, one night until 11:30. The parking attendant told us they never check, and we certainly had no problems.
