Vic's hackerhome has been a very pleasant place to stay in. It's fully facilitated, clean, and uncompromised even though its much cheaper than what you'd normally find in the Bay Area.

All the members are nice and friendly, there is always ample food in the fridge, neat laundry system, proper beds, and very spacious work stations.

Vic himself is a very nice and humble person who takes your needs seriously and makes sure you have a comfortable stay. He also runs a ring of hackerhouses all through the Bay Area, so you automatically become a part of the larger network and meet interesting people all the way!

I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a place in San Mateo, or to Vic's hackerhomes for anyone looking for an affordable place in the Bay Area.
