Comfortable 2 Bedroom 1 Bath House in San Jose - Close to Rose Garden

It's a simple property, as advertised. Items such as paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, sponges, bar soap, shampoo, and conditioner are well-stocked. Besides some grapeseed oil, you will *not* find condiments for cooking at home (salt, pepper, sugar, sauces, etc). The central HVAC does not work, but the property does have three well-functioning portable AC units -- one in the kitchen, one in the living room, and one in the main bedroom. They are a bit loud. There is a 99cents store a 5min walk away (we went there to get bottled water) and several restaurants nearby within walking distance (Ethiopian, Chinese, Mexican, Vietnamese).

Clean and cute, this was a great central base for us to explore the Winchester Mystery House, Computer Museum, Municipal Rose Garden, Henry Cowell and Roaring Camp Railroad, all in a 3 night trip. Parking is a wee bit tricky, it is right in front of the house, but a bit of a squeeze if you have a larger SUV or truck. (Our rental Kia Sorento was fine most of the time, but we were grateful to not be driving our normal truck). Neighborhood is adorable, mixed houses, apartments and great ethnic restaurants and felt very homey. Plenty of close groceries (check out Zanotto's Market! So awesome!) It could use a bit more stocking of items (no washclothes anywhere, bathroom or kitchen and some extra blankets for the futon would be a nice addition for chillier TV watching nights). Check in was easy-peasy, we loved the way the fence wraps around the tree out back and all in all we enjoyed our stay!

This was a cute little home next

It was a lovely stay with my kids fir a few days there. Nice location and clean place.

Our first impression on the house was great. It’s small, but with nice interior. We enjoyed the outside patio in the evenings even though the chairs were missing a cushion. To get to the washer/dryer you have to go outside - no problem when it’s summer but I wouldn’t wanna go out in the winter. The air condition unit is in the kitchen, therefore it was really warm in the bedrooms in the evening. The bathroom is really, really small but ok for a few nights. It is a newer listing and I feel like the kitchen was missing a few things (glasses, bowls, toaster, …) and usually the host provides a few dish washer tabs, laundry detergent, coffee filters, … it was no big deal for us because we had everything with us but it is always more welcoming if a few little things are already in the house. Aryan was responsive and brought some plates, glasses and bowls when I asked for it. I hope he will stack up the kitchen in the future. The biggest problem we had was the (dirty) floor: It’s a nice grey and looked clean but after walking barefoot for an hour all of us had pitch black feet! I communicated the issue but unfortunately Aryan didn’t offer a cleaning service. So I scrubbed down the floors for 2 hours. I really think it’s a five star house but with all the little things and then the dirty floor I - unfortunately - have to give a four star rating. I hope Aryan changes a few minor things and it will be a great house!

Aryan was very responsive to any request. Place was very clean upon our arrival. We had a wonderful vacation. Thanks Aryan!
