Xiu's place is exactly as described. About 20 minutes from the city--it's just close enough that you can get to the city quickly but just far enough that you get a glorious amount of parking. We had no issues with parking and really loved that about Millbrae, including how safe the area is! I really appreciated the super clear instructions about how to check-in including pictures of how to use the keypad, a map of how to get to your room, and what the exterior of the house looked like. Xiu is clearly someone who is experienced as a host and knows what she's doing! Upon entering the house there's a full length mirror, a cute living room with a couch, table, tv, mini fridge, and a small cabinet with a brita filter water and drawers with utensils and cups available. Upon entering the room we saw 2 sets of slippers awaiting us which was awesome since we usually have to bring our own slippers. The room was extremely clean, recommendations and the wifi info was on the desk as Xiu said they would be, the shower was newly remodeled (super nice) and included Aveeno body wash and Garnier Fructis shampoo. It was ample space for two people, very quaint and the bed was supremely comfortable. The only thing I'd say was that it could get a little warm in the room, but luckily there were 2 windows in our room (Room D) so we could always get a nice breeze going. That's the plus side to the bay is that anywhere on the peninsula is really nowhere near as hot as SoCal. The walls are a bit thin, but we had no issues with this at all; our neighbors were very quiet! We saw the host momentarily but we were just fine not seeing the host for most of the trip! I also wanted to compliment that Xiu is great with communication--she was having the heater fixed but made sure to message me right away to let me know how long it would take so we could use the shower afterwards. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay here with Xiu again in the future!
