About the host
Hosted by Stanley & Virginia Siu
We welcome you to Alameda and hope to host you. Although we are new to VRBO, we've been hosting since 2016, and to date, we have hosted over 500 groups, and if you see us on another site, you'll see that we have been Super Hosts continuously since we first started in 2016. Many of our guests stay for business, for vacation, to visit family in the area, or are locals needing a place to stay while renovating their homes. We have 4 units of various sizes and configurations to meet different needs. We love to travel and understand what you as a traveler need and try to make your stay care free by providing clean accommodations and the little things that you need, but might forget to bring or might not want to buy (who wants to bring or buy one laundry pod?!). When not hosting, Stanley continues to develop IP for his high tech startup, Virginia cares for family and elderly parents, and we both continue to volunteer in our local religious charity.
Why they chose this property
As continuous Super Hosts since 2016 and having hosted over 500 groups to date, we have units that range from 1 bedroom to 4 bedrooms. The smallest 1 bedroom unit is great for the solo or double business traveler and is more comfortable than similarly priced hotel rooms. The 4 bedroom units are economical for larger groups being more cost effective than renting multiple rooms at a hotel. And we have a 2 bedroom unit for the in-betweeners. As all the units include a kitchen, our units are more cost effective and more comfortable than comparably configured residence type inns. We converted our large garage into a game room and equipped it with a pool table, ping pong table, and classic arcade console for your relaxation and enjoyment. We have a laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers. The game room and laundry room both are complimentary for our guests. Although we may not have many reviews yet, you can find us elsewhere and see the many positive reviews we have gotten so far.
What makes this property unique
Besides comfortable and care free accommodations, we are just a few blocks away from downtown Alameda where there are many shops, coffee and boba drink shops, and restaurants serving many different yummy cuisines. The nearby historic Alameda Theater continues to show top rated movies while also serving food in their luxury loungers for those wanting dinner and a show! We are about 15 minutes away from the Oakland Colisseum (Go A's) and Oracle Arena (former home of the Warriors) and about 30 minutes away Chase Center (current home of the world champion Golden State Warriors).
