You will love every minute of your stay at the pleasant home of Mark and Julie, tucked away on a quiet San Mateo neighborhood street yet only minutes from dining and shopping along El Camino Real. No need to hurry for the airport as you're only 20 freeway minutes away.
Start with generous driveway parking at their home. Come and go as you please via the private entrance into your suite. The large bed was quite comfortable for my wife and me, with easy access to a well-appointed full bath. For the "nightowl" in your group (and that's me!), a cozy living area is only steps away from the bedroom, yet it's removed enough to allow sleep for one while endless channel-surfing entertains the other. The living room includes a nice kitchen area, with full refrigerator, microwave and toaster oven, as well as a coffee maker that our hosts stocked with single-serving pouches, plus a small basket of tasty snacks.
The living room leads to the outdoor deck and a well-manicured backyard. My wife took advantage, spending a few morning minutes outdoors with a cop of coffee and the fresh San Mateo air.
Mark and Julie are accessible 24/7 via text/e-mail. When this writer couldn't figure out the remote for proper TV access on our first visit, Mark quickly responded with instructions to a full menu of cable channels. When our push-button door lock acted up on our second stay, Mark ensured our entrance was secured while we were out, then quickly arranged for its repair.
Please note this review describes our "second" stay. It would've been three if another surely happy guest hadn't beaten us to the punch earlier this summer. With our daughter, son-in-law and first grandson living only five minutes away, we hope for many more visits to San Mateo. Rest assured that we will spend our nights at this lovely hideaway of Mark and Julie, who deserve every bit of their "Superhost" designation.
