Tim's listing was one of the best experiences I have had with airbnb in the bay area. Listing out some of the things that stood out for me.

Cleanliness: 5/5 - The room, washrooms and the house including kitchen was extremely clean and tidy. This was even more impressive given that at any point in time you could be sharing the house with 2 other guests.

Spacious: 5/5 - I have stayed in a lot of airbnb's and for this price you do not get a private room which is this spacious in the bay area. Fantastic room with closet and small cupboard. Also has a small study table against the wall which I found to be very useful as I worked from home on a few days.

Location 5/5: San Carlos while a bit far away from my workplace (Palo Alto) is a location that begins to grow on you. About 30/40 mins from mountain view/ palo alto area and about the same time to the city based on traffic. Tim's house is located on a quiet neighborhood with ample street parking and far away from the main road's or caltrain line. Extremely silent at night and every morning you actually wake up to the sounds of birds chirping from trees in his backyard. (He wasn't kidding in his description.. :)). Downtown is a 5 min drive and has some very good options for bars and restaurants. There is a InNOut at a 5 min drive for those of you who work late through the night and are looking for a late night meal.

Tim's mostly always around the house and is always very helpful and attentive to any requirements or questions that you might have during your stay. All his other guests seemed quite pleasant as well. My trip was very hectic from a work point of view so I could not get a chance to interact too much with Tim during my stay.

Overall highly recommend this place and I definitely see myself coming back to stay here if Tim's fine with it. :)
