Alvin is a great host and has a wonderful place! I really enjoyed my time in San Mateo. The apartment was really easy to find with his instructions, there was plenty of street parking the entire time I was there, the location was nice, and the place itself matched the pictures and description exactly. It was clean and cozy! I felt right at home and when I returned home I even bought the same space heater used in the place because it was such good quality!
Alvin was a very nice, pro-active and responsive host! I would definitely recommend staying at his place!
