About this property

Spacious and cozy 4BR/2.5BA home in South Bay

Welcome to our cozy home located in north San Jose / South Bay Area. It is a 1800 sq ft 2-story house with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, full kitchen, private backyard, and dedicated parking space. It's clean, bright and spacious; conveniently located with easy access to San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and everything else in between. Whether you are in town for business or leisure, we trust you will find comfort and convenience in our lovely home.

Guests have access to the entire house except for one pantry room next to the kitchen where we keep our cleaning supply; includes the following amenities:

- Kitchen: we provide you everything you would need to cook a full meal including basic cooking tools, pots/pens, bowls, plates, glasses, utensils
- Basic appliances include kettle, coffee maker, toaster, rice cooker, microwave, oven, dishwasher, heater, TV, and DVD player
- High-speed Wifi
- Clean linens & towels, hair dryer
- Iron and ironing board
- 2 dedicated driveway side-by-side parking and 1 free pass to a street parking nearby
- Washer and dryer in the garage – feel free to use
- Bathroom: 2 full bathrooms (with shower) at the second floor and 1 half bathroom at the first floor [we have just renovated (summer 2019) all three bathrooms in the house! They are very clean and tastefully designed to provide a comfortable shower environment to you. Come and enjoy!]

*Please note: we do not have AC in the house. Our area has comfortable temperature throughout the year except for some of the summer days that may get hot during daytime. During the hot summer days we have furnished our bedrooms and living space with fans; with the fans running and the windows open together can help increase circulation and ventilation to keep the house cool. Temperature normally drops down to low/mid 60s by nightfall so the house will cool down quite a bit or can be chilly at night. (Note the temperature control panel is for heating in winter!)

The Neighborhood
Our house is located in a very convenient location with 5 to 10 mins away from four major freeways 101, 880, 680 and 280 that take you to San Francisco, Oakland, Palo Alto, Berkeley, Napa Valley, Half Moon Bay, Monterey, Carmel etc.
*Please note, we are rather close to San Jose Intl Airport (about 15 mins drive) but not San Francisco Intl Airport (requires a good 45-50 mins drive)!

- Short drive to grocery stores and all types of supermarkets (sprouts organic market, Ranch 99 the Chinese market, Costco, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods); and all other services/entertainment you may need (post office, pharmacy, gym, massage, beauty service, yes even Casino…)
- Walking distance to parks (with kids playground) and golf course
- Enjoy your shopping at the Great Mall (one of the largest indoor outlet mall in the US), Santana Row, Valley Fair (with Nordstorm, Macys) – within 10 to 20 mins drive away
- 10 to 15 mins to Caltrain station which takes you up to various cities along the Peninsula (Mountain View, San Mateo) and into San Francisco
If you need any suggestion / information regarding the area/food choices etc., we are happy to help! Or just Yelp!

To get around, you can either rent a car (recommended) or simply Uber or Lyft (normally respond quickly and do not need to wait long).

Guest Interaction
We give space to our guests but we are available when needed. We try our best to reply your messages as quickly as we can; sometimes may be slower due to time zone difference. Definitely within 12 hours.

Thanksgiving with Family
My husband, mother, & I flew in from the Midwest to visit my sister, BIL, and their 2 kids (ages 2 & 9). We needed a place big enough to accommodate us all & this space was great. The beds we’re comfortable, the rooms well sized, and the extra large couch was perfect for a group our size. The 2 1/2 bathrooms also made things easy. The kitchen is very small and not super equipped for cooking — that’s not a complaint! The owner was up front about the realities of the kitchen. If you plan to cook here, try to pack a good knife, cutting board, cooking sheet, and roasting pan. (We were cooking Thanksgiving dinner here so, admittedly, our needs were probably greater than most!) Overall, this was a serviceable home in a quiet neighborhood that fit our needs well.

San Jose Wedding Trip
We booked this property because it was near the wedding venue, SJC airport, as well as centrally located between San Francisco and Santa Cruz. The house was nice and had room for all 7 of us. The owner was quick to respond to questions, and accommodating. Check-in and check-out were very easy. I would stay at this property again, and would recommend to family and friends. One of the better VRBOs we’ve rented.

Great for families
The house was great! My entire family was visiting for a wedding (8 of us) and we were all comfortable space wise. The property was clean and comfortable. We were in town during a crazy heat wave so it did get hot and stuffy without AC but there were plenty of fans available. No AC during the summer May be something to keep in mind if you’re traveling with elderly folks. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and safe. We had no issues with noise while sleeping even with all the windows open at night. There’s also a Safeway right down the street within walking distance which is a huge plus. The host was also amazing! The check in and check out process was easy and he stayed in touch to check in on us during our stay. Overall it was a very positive experience. I would highly recommend this property to those traveling with family

Bad experience
Owner told me, don’t use garage 7 days before entering into the house. I pay for the whole house. They’re renting only half of the house. If you’re in the restaurant you pay for full service not the half plate.

Homey for a big family
It was a convenient place to house a family of 6-8 people. It has everything that a family could need. It’s very spacious. It’s also close to a grocery store and 2 different main highways (101 and 680).

About the host

Hosted by Teyin Chung

Host profile image
I'm a Taiwanese girl living in Shanghai, China. I was a manager in a strategic consulting firm and an entrepreneur in start-up company; now a mother of two kids. My husband is from the US working in Shanghai.

Why they chose this property

I believe convenience and safety are the top two priorities for travelers when making decisions to where to stay, and our house has both. It is strategically located in the north San Jose which is close to San Jose but also with shorter distance to the cities in the Peninsula and East Bay through major freeways - 101, 880, 680 which are all 5 to 10 mins away from our place. Our neighborhood is safe and quiet, and most of the neighbors know each other.

What makes this property unique

The owner speaks mandarin Chinese so it is easy to communicate with Chinese guests!
