- 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!)

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)!

Guest Interaction

Peaceful residential neighbourhood although it is close to freeway.
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.
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.
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
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.
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).
Good spot, central to a lot of places
Convenient
We had no problems and everything was as described.
Great location for day trips to San Francisco, Napa, Richmond, Walnut Creek, Monterey, San Cruz, and not far from Levy Stadium. Convenient to San Jose airport and an 1 1/2 hours from SFO. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Highly recommended.
Nice area and good owner
