Dennis and Molly have created a comfortable, clean and homey space that happens to be centrally located of 101 freeway at a great value! Molly is a consummate host, placing fresh flowers in your room and replacing when your empty vase is left out. If you are lucky enough to be offered whatever she's cooking that day, you are in luck! The kitchen always smells delicious when she's in there. She has a lovely attention-to-detail and is super hospitable; anything you want or need, just ask Molly.
The squid cave itself has a comfy heated mattress, plenty of usable space with a nice desk, comfy chair and ottoman and a great shelving unit. I stayed about a month in the cave and it was welcoming from the start. The backyard is great for relaxing on a sunny San Mateo day and the Bay Trail (with new playgrounds and parks just within a walk or short bike ride) is two blocks away. Downtown San Mateo is walking/biking distance, a little far if you don't have a vehicle which I didn't during my stay. It you do have a car, there's plenty of parking and the location is just off of 101 freeway, very close to 92, 380, and SFO.
We had a great stay and would absolutely stay again. Thanks Dennis and Molly!
