Maria is a fabulous host. Her bottom floor apartment was so spacious and clean! The photos of the property are accurate. Our family of 4 was able to spread out and enjoy the space. We loved the large kitchen with nice appliances, large bedrooms, and living room. And the location is fabulous, with ample parking and great views of the bay looking east. Would absolutely recommend Maria's place to anyone needing a rental in the San Mateo area.
The only cons of this place are the slightly noisy bathroom fan and the distribution of heat during the cold months is a little uneven, but those things are so minimal given how wonderfully friendly Maria is and how beautiful her property is. It's a wonderful temporary haven!
