I had _the best_ Airbnb stay at Oswaldo’s place: 10/10. I highly recommend anyone considering Oswaldo’s place to book it. Now. If I ever return to the area, I will definitely stay at Oswaldo’s place again. Oswaldo’s place is in a convenient location. It is near to the bus and train stations, IKEA, grocery stores, eating places, Stanford university, and downtown palo alto. The house and my room was also clean and spacious. Oswaldo was also very quick in responding to my messages. But what made my stay _the best_ Airbnb experience was Oswaldo and his family. They are truly some of the kindest, most helpful and most sincere people I’ve met. I will try to explain but please know that my words will not do them justice. On my first day, I was going to the grocery store when Oswaldo’s brother insisted on driving me there as I was new to the area. In the car, he offered to show me around the area that I was going to spend the next three weeks visiting. Over my next three weeks, Oswaldo and his brother sent me and another housemate to where we needed to go in the morning. Every day. Why? Because it would take my housemate a long time to travel to the place he needed to by public transport and going by uber/taxi would be very expensive. They did this and never asked for anything in return. Oswaldo and his brother also frequently sent me to supermarkets, brought me on tours around the area, and even sent me to the airport (three times!!!). During our journeys, I got to know them better and enjoyed our conversations a lot. Oswaldo and his family also shared the food they cooked with me and other housemates. They would also buy bread and fruits for us. I could also use anything in the kitchen if I wanted to cook. I ate some of their food and again, enjoyed the conversations. I learned a lot about their life and culture. Oh, and in case you are wondering, yes I enjoyed their cooking a lot! Oswaldo also helped me to repair my watch. This was out of his own generosity. I had only asked where I could repair my watch and he offered to help. When he got it repaired, he refused any payment. At this point, I felt I had received too much kindness—I tried to hide money in his house but that did not work! Then, Oswaldo and his family were just some of the most positive and friendly people. I treated them as a friends very quickly. I could confide in Oswaldo about any serious issues or just have a laugh with him at any time. By the end of my stay, I felt more like an extended family. It was a privilege to have met Oswaldo and his family. They taught me so much about life. This was something I did not expect, when I was making my reservation....
