We were able to rent the entire unit fir $280/night, which is good value for the area, and the owner was very considerate in storing our luggage until we could check in. However, it is worth knowing that the home usually is rented out by bedroom. Each room is numbered and has its own security code lock, which I found irritating as I was locked out of my kids' rooms - as well as I my own room, if I didn't prop the door. The smoke detectors were removed and on tables in each room. The kitchen was not well equipped (no paring knife, no cutting board)
The TV is very small for the space it is in and rather distant from the couch, and so I sat on a blanket on floor in front of the TV to get close enough. The couch has stains, with a piece of fabric over it to conceal them.
The windows in bedroom 1 seem to be broken as they do not open and close properly. I could not find additional trashbags, so the garbage situation got a bit out of control.
I think the owner could easily address most of these issues .... and the place has nice new bathrooms and is in a quiet location. It is a transitional neighborhood... but very safe and well located to San Mateo downtown restaurants and SFO.
