Oswaldo is very kind and welcoming, and accommodated checking me in fairly late at night on very short notice, which I very much appreciated. East Palo Alto is not a fancy neighborhood, and the house would benefit from a few repairs, but there was sufficient off-street parking at the house, and the price was good compared to Palo Alto or other more upscale neighborhoods. The room I had was large and clean, but a little uncomfortable in terms of privacy because there were only sheer curtains on the windows.
