This is a 2-bedroom apartment in a very nice neighborhood in San Mateo. The property is absolutely immaculate, looks to have been recently remodeled, and is really perfect.
With plenty of free parking on this suburban street, with the only challenge -- be sure to set the parking brake (!) on your car as it's on a pretty steep hill.
The living room of the apartment looks out onto a very lovely and tidy patio, with a bbq grill, that is actually separate from the backyard that services the residents/owners who live upstairs in the main house. We met the owners and they are super nice and welcoming -- and left some water and snacks for us to enjoy.
The kitchen-ette has a microwave, a coffee pot, a small refrigerator, and a toaster oven in the cupboard. There are dishes enough to serve 4 people, but no dishwasher, oven or stove. These things are not missed, as the point is to get out and about and not linger in the property. This is not an apartment for entertaining large groups of people.
The bathroom is modern, immaculate, and very nice. There is only one bathroom, so whoever is occupying the two bedrooms needs to be prepared to share.
The beds in both bedrooms are super comfortable, with nice sheets, and covers. Plenty of towels for everyone, plus hangers waiting in the closets of both rooms.
Best of all, this is a private apartment which is not anyone's home. So if you stay here, there's no concern about being in people's way or possibly using their things.
Also, this is a very quiet location for those who might be bothered by a more urban or noisy location.
Finally, it's very convenient that there is a code for the front door, so no need to try to meet up with the owners to get a key. Lei Anna is very responsive to emails and sent the info we needed to get in to the property a whole day in advance of our arrival.
We couldn't recommend this particular AirBnB more highly!
