The location of this property is great for shopping and morning walks to get coffee. We spent most of our days visiting relatives, but the VRBO had everything we needed for comfortable nights (including remote ceiling fans which came in very handy!)
This 1BR 1BA is clean cozy and ideally located a short walk from downtown Burlingame and the Caltrain station. Itâs near the tracks but I wasnât bothered by the train noise by using a fan as white noise. The kitchen is quite small and didnât have many utensils. And the living area desperately needs a floor lamp. Overall I loved it and would stay there again utensils (no measuring cups, colander,
This was our first Verbo and probably our last. We chose it because we wanted to be near our grandchildren for the holidays. The place, not as it was described, seems like it is an afterthought for the owner who has invested little in it. The sheets did not fit the bed, and some of the pillows, which were old and lumpy, did not have pillowcases.The quilt was extremely old and shabby. The handheld shower head was precariously attached to the window frame.The soap in the bathroom was just water. We had to request more necessary items like toilet paper and soap in the bathroom. It is not an easy location since it is right near the train station and the walls are so thin we could hear conversation in the business downstairs. The best to be said it was very clean and the manager was easy to contact.
I like it here. Itâs my 3rd time. The area is great: downtown Burlingame is a short walk. The neighborhood is pretty, with big trees and pleasant homes. The apartment is always clean and cozy.
This was as advertised. Unfortunately, there was a heat wave in Burlingame. This property is un air-conditioned and in addition it sits on top of the owners business property. As the first day wore on, the temperatures inside the room were so hot that my phone would no longer charge. The owners were very understanding and agreed to let us pay a lesser rate, but there was no way to actually sleep there. We ended up running to holiday Inn,
I want to emphasize that the owners were very classy and understanding. On the other hand, this heat wave was not unexpected, and someone with a health condition could be grievously harmed by the extreme temperatures in this upstairs, un air-conditioned unit
That being said the location is fantastic, nearby to everything , and the kitchen is more than adequate . We just didnât stay there for more than five hours.
We stayed in Burlingame due to access and proximity to the San Francisco Bay area. The space was very accommodating. The kitchen and laundry were as advertised.
Easy walking distance to restaurants and other entertainment options in Burlingame. Very pedestrian/bicycling friendly community as well.
The only real drawback was the proximity to the commuter rail lines. Trains run about every 15 minutes from 5am-9pm.
Kate was a very responsive host. Overall, we would stay here again.
The property promised off street parking, but when we arrive there was a mystery car parked in the spot. The host couldn't figure out what to do for over 2 hours. Finally gave up and went to stay in a hotel. At some point after i obtained the hotel reservation and told the host I was canceling there was an offer to get the mystery car towed. Too little too late. After a day of travel I expect the property to be ready to relax and unwind.
We enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect and within walking distance to Caltrain, shops, restaurants, library, Starbucks and Safeway. Check-in was smooth and host was super attentive and helpful prior to our stay. There was plenty of natural day light and windows to open which allowed for a lovely breeze throughout the day. The windows are double-pane and help reduce the street noise and train whistle (which brings back fond childhood memories). I always travel with disposable earplugs and a sound machine, but it might be nice to have those available at the unit as complimentary. There are plenty of pillows and blankets and the ceiling fans are a nice touch to keep cool during the warmer days. The space is very functional and met our needs for a quick and unexpected trip. Thanks Kate!
This is a great location to downtown and a beautiful community park. If you have difficulty going up and down stairs I don't recommend this apartment. Bring your ear plugs the traffic and train noise is bearable but loud at times. Persons under 5'4" will have a hard time reaching the freezer because it's on a raised platform. The rest of the kitchen
is fully functional. The bed is comfortable and there is a pleasant outdoor space toward the back of the property.
The property was very clean and in a great location as to the proximity and ease of exploring the Burlingame downtown area. The host was attentive and very nice.
The main negative was the proximity to the train tracks and the commuter trains that ran on schedule throughout the day/night. Since there is no central air or window unit, we had to keep the windows open during most of our stay. This was not much of an issue, since the unit was the second floor of the house and the nights were cool enough, a/c wasn't needed. The train, however, was some getting use to at night. I think the train noise stopped running sometime after midnight and would pick back up around 5 or 6 a.m., the next morning.
Great location for exploring San Francisco if you have a car
It's a very good environment except for a little noisy train noise. There are many restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets nearby.If there is any problem, the owner will take care of it immediatelyïŒ
This was everything we hoped for - location, simplicity, cleanliness and excellent communications and check-in with the owner.
When arriving there is a request not to wear shoes in the home and complimentary flip flops. This should be part of the information, as we seniors, can be wary of going up and down stairs without solid shoes to support us. Also in the house, we often need the support that shoes provide. Other than that give this your best consideration.
Spent a week here and enjoyed myself. The apartment is cozy, and has a kitchen and laundry facilities. Burlingame and its restaurants are a short walk nearby. The owner was very responsive and helpful. I hope to come again.
This house is a great place to stay because you can easily walk in downtown Burlingame and very close to a lot of stores, shops, good restaurants, boutiques, and more. We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood in Burlingame and driving to San Francisco and Sausalito. The place is clean but needed some update on the shower head fixture because it was loose. The only thing we forgot it was very close to the Cal train railroad - line and station. The train blow whistle was so loud that my husband started to count it every time it whistles. If you don't mind the noise, then it's fine. We had a great time visiting and celebrating our anniversary with our love ones.
