Ryan is an incredibly nice and helpful host! Communication has been super smooth and he always answered very quickly to our messages. Would definitely recommend staying in one of the apartment he's listed in San Pedro Square.
The pros:
The apartment is decorated with taste and in very functional way: the side table that has USB ports, the dining table that has two sizes so you can comfortably eat from the sofa, the two massive TVs (living room and bedroom) that move so you can watch from bed or sofa, etc. Amenities are perfect for a short or longer stay (we stayed for 2 months) with coffee machine, big fridge/freezer, kettle, microwave, etc. The one thing missing would be an oven but description of the place mentions you can ask Ryan for a counter one.
The building has shared washer/dryer and there are enough that you can always have one available for your laundry. There is also a gym which, with Covid, is only accessible by one household at a time. There were other people from the complex using it but even though we've been there every day for 2 months, only once did we have to come back later as it was already in use. It's perfect for one-two people use, with a treadmill, a couple of bikes, some weights..
Best surprise was the shared library in the entrance hall, with tons of books you can borrow during your stay.
Finally, the place is perfectly located in San Pedro Square, meaning several restaurants and coffee places downstairs, and about 20 minutes walk from SAP, caltrain station, CVS and a whole foods.
The cons:
The one thing that compelled us to drop a star was due to one of the restaurants downstairs. They've built the HVAC conduit against the bathroom wall of the apartment which meant loud noise and vibration all day long in all rooms, and especially the bedroom. Ryan was really great at helping the communication with the restaurant, ensuring the HVAC would be off at night so we could at least have good sleep. It's been a pain point for us, mostly because of working from home. If you're out during the day, at work or visiting places, this shouldn't be too much of a pain point like it was for us.
