This Airbnb is walking distance to Caltrain and Downtown San Mateo. The neighborhood isn’t the greatest, but my family and I felt safe the entire time.
The unit is well maintained for its age. DirectTV is included with plenty of channels including Showtime. No issues with the unit itself.
However please be sure you bring basic needs like salt/pepper, shampoo, and body soap as those are not included. We noticed that the housekeeping for the other units had thrown what appeared to be new/nearly full shampoo, soap, and seasoning into the recycling bins. The items cannot be recycled anyway as they are 99% full! That is a big waste - it should be kept in the unit for future guests.
Parking is behind the building and is quite narrow. Will be difficult if you have a large car. Street parking was full for most of the week that we stayed.
