Lovely apartment adjacent to downtown San Mateo and overlooking Central Park. The hosts were very welcoming upon my arrival. The room is as described. A good size, with ample closet space and access to a balcony overlooking Central Park. Had it been warmer, I definitely would have spent time out there....the balcony has good space and views. Note that the room is private but the apartment is shared with the hosts and one other guest room.
The apartment itself is a short walk from downtown San Mateo — a block or two — where there are numerous restaurants, coffee shops, exercise studios, and other stores. The Caltrain is also walkable but on the other side of downtown. Perhaps a 15 min leisurely walk.
I recommend Margareth and Marcos’s place!
