The location is excellent - neighborhood was quiet, and access was easy from the highway - the Safeway store is very close. San Mateo is full of great places to eat, too! The house had plenty of bedrooms for our group of 8, and 3 bathrooms made getting ready to go out much easier! Dishwasher worked, as did the gas stove, microwave and electrical appliances. Best of all it was CLEAN! Clean sheets, clean floors (I didn't think about this until I looked at the bottom of my white socks and found they were not soiled!), clean bathrooms, access to the showers was easy and with safety rails as well as soap and shampoo dispensers. A great home - away from home!
