Dan was extremely sweet and welcoming. I asked him for some recommendation for a place to eat dinner the first night I got there and Dan took me on a quick impromptu tour of the area letting me know where everything was and where to go in downtown San Mateo. He certainly cared if I had a problem. It was a little cold in the apartment the first night so he got me a space heater. I did have a couple of issues with my stay. First I'd that it is super difficult to park near Dan house at times. Sometime I had to keep circling around his blocks for 20 minutes before I could find anything. I was in a Honda but I thought how impossible it would be to park around there. My other issue with staying was cleanliness. It was pretty dirty upon my arrival. I was actually shocked. I am chalking this up to the fact that Dan had not done much hosting but it was bad. Hair from whoever stayed there before was everywhere and I mean everywhere. Shower. Yep. Floors. Check. Toilet seat. Sure. I bought cleaning products at the grocery and got to scrubbing and then the apartment was very nice. I talked to Dan about how unhappy I was with that and he seemed truly shocked. I think he just wasn't use to having guest and the level of tidiness that is expected. He told me he is hiring a cleaning service after each person now and I was very happy to hear that because once the apartment was clean my stay was very comfortable.
