Owner rude , electic issues
We received minimal information about property access and area and directions to room . Area to room was poorly lit and unmarked. Unit appeared clean but notes were seen that you could only plug certain things to certain outlets. Instructed to use coffee pot near bathroom sink. Water and electricity dont mix !!!! Additional rental room was connected to the one we rented and there were people in this room arguing very loudly and violently with a young Baby screaming. Very scary !! Contacted owner who eventually agreed to only give us only a partial refund, even though we vacated the room within 15 minutes upon arrival. Total refund that was promised by the owner was NEVER received and owner refused to answer our multiple attempts to contact her by phone and text. If owner had not been rude and had refunded our money as she said she would ,verbally and by text message, I would have given her a better review. I would never want to deal with this owner again . I tried to get help through VRBO and though the agents tried to be helpful , the issue has never been resolved leading us to wary of using VRBO again !!!!! VRBO should not associated with owners like this .....bad for their business!!!!

Month long stay during home remodel
My husband and I stayed in Hoda’s Room 2 for a month. The room was spotlessly clean and as seen in photo, with a new shower and bathroom, bed and dresser. Very comfortable bed will adjust so you can sit-up while reading or using laptop. Great location near restaurants and easy access to highway. Hoda is very nice, great communicator; very easy check in. Nice neighborhood. Thank you, Hoda !

Loved our 9 nights stay
Met our host on our first day, which was really nice esp since my husband and i were staying for over a week. Unit has a nice size bathroom, new furnitures, reminded me of timeshare type accommodations, that we were accustomed too. Beautiful fragrant Rose bushes full of blooms and lemon trees loaded with lemons! Our host checked on us 2x, just enough to make us feel welcomed. Also was kind to offer us lemons from the tree. Property backs up to a nice doggie park. A good place to walk in the am before patrons start coming. We felt at home on our stay and loved the quiet garden setting. Lots of stores a n d restaurantants nearby. Thank you very much Hoda!. Rossana

Great for business travelers
Great location. Convenient to highways, restaurants and local businesses. The unit was clean and inviting. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was modern and new. Small nits that would take this place from great to fantastic would be an iron, ironing board and a television. The host is very hands off as stated. I felt safe and secure. I would stay again!

Comfortable & Clean Room in East San Mateo
The room was a recently constructed addition to the larger house, and it is very clean and comfortable. The bathroom is very spacious, and there is a functional desk with good wifi. Highly recommended.

Clean, comfortable and quiet
Hoda and her family were welcoming into their lovely home. The space was nice, clean and had a private entrance. Hoda checked in several times during my stay to make sure everything was ok. The bed is amazingly comfortable. I will definitely stay here again.

Quiet location great for 1 or 2 people
I stayed with Hoda for a week while in town for work. If you are looking for a room (read: not an apartment) this place works well. It appears to brand new and is located maybe a mile from 101, 1.5 miles from Whole Foods and other places to eat, and about 3 miles from downtown San Mateo on a quiet street with plenty of parking. There is a small refrigerator and microwave, but no food prep equipment beyond that. A few other things to note: 1) there is no TV, so if you're going to be sitting around a lot in the evenings with nothing much to do you will want to bring your own entertainment 2) I could at times hear other residents (not sure if this was the owners or the folks staying in the other unit) and 3) there were no bedside lamps and the overhead light switch is opposite the bed, so you can't really sit in bed and read without getting up to shut the lights off in the room before going to sleep. A good experience overall, and given my pretty limited needs while in town for work would stay here again.

Great stay
Came to the area for a conference and this was the perfect place to stay! The bed and pillows were SO comfortable (so much so that I was late to my conference... 😁). The bed has an adjustable base FYI. I didn't want to get out of bed! Now this listing is located inside the home of the host, but felt completely separate. You have your own entrance on the side of the house, your own bathroom and plenty of privacy. The host was very responsive and made sure to text me to make sure I needed anything. You won't be let down if you decide to book a stay here!
