What a great place to stay when in San Jose. Easy access to the uni, downtown, etc., all while being just far enough away. The house was immaculate and had all the amenities you could need, and especially fresh coffee. The bed was great, and being a no-feather person, having foam was extra special. The living room was really a relaxing place to sit and read, watch TV, etc. The living room opens to the beautiful backyard, with great spaces to sit and enjoy the quiet. The host was outstanding to deal with; check-in was a breeze, and as soon as I got in the house, I felt like I was in my home. I'll be back in San Jose quite a bit, and will absolutely be coming back.

Thanks so much, Jonas — I’m glad our house felt like a home and that the bed, backyard and fresh coffee hit the mark. I look forward to hosting you again whenever you’re back in San Jose.
