We had a great stay at Greg's place. He is a gracious and friendly host, but not intrusive. He left us a welcome note and a few things for breakfast when we arrived, which was a nice touch as we were arriving late. The apartment is separate and very private. Hillsborough is a quiet town nestled in the hills above San Mateo and Burlingame. It is a few minutes from both, where you can find any amenities that you need. Overall, it's in the heart of the Bay Area -- Well positioned for anywhere you might want to visit. 10-15 minutes from SFO. Depending on traffic, about 20-30 minutes to San Francisco or Half Moon Bay and perhaps 45 from San Jose. We drove to Sonoma after our stay and made it in about an hour and 15 minutes. There are nice views from the kitchen out over the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Nice to watch the fog roll in during the morning. We occasionally glimpsed wildlife as well including deer and a rabbit. All in all a great stay.
