Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara T. 20 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy hose and cottage The house was very clean and welcoming. The kitchen was stocked which was great as we cooked several meals during our stay. We really appreciated the Starbucks k-cups as well! There were two bath towels laid out per room which was great but it would have been nice to have extra as we stayed several days. There were washers and dryers available but we were busy with family activities so didn’t get to washing the towels we had. Not a big deal but something to consider. The backyard was really spacious and we enjoyed the firepit in the evenings. One thing to be aware of- the San Jose airport is very close and there were big noisy jets flying over the house constantly, from 6am to 10pm. There were dogs next door that barked quite a bit but we didn’t mind. Overall, our stay was nice for a short visit in San Jose. ##### Sara T.

It was a great location, just about a 10 min walk to downtown, and about 15 to convention center or an $8 uber. We enjoyed that the house was in a good location and had great outdoor space in the back that was exclusive and enjoyable to hang out at. We will look to stay next year as well. The owner was very responsive and considerate while booking and staying. ##### Chris A.

It was nicely appointed and there wasn’t anything we wished the house had. Family members had stopped by to see us throughout the weekend so it was nice to be centrally located. There were a lot of house rules regarding noise and mentioning of being evicted if neighbors complained. Totally understandable but we could never be noisier than the construction going on around us and the constant noise of being in the flight pattern for the airport. ##### cathy T. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Allyson P. 3 Feb 2023 Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### A very cold beginning The heat does not work in the living room. Upon arriving the place was so cold, it took over 24 hours to get semi warm. The listing does not describe the 3 bedroom being detached from the home. I had a hard time trying to get the full check in information which I demanded 2 hours prior to check in. Received multiple texts with the instructions and was not put on the VBRO message until 30 minutes prior to check in. I was actually a little concerned this was a scam (but is wasn't), just not professional at all ##### Allyson P. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer G. 23 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay in San Jose We were in town with family (5 of us total) for my son's graduation from Santa Clara. This was a perfect spot for us to gather and chill when we weren't on campus for the festivities. The place was spotless and welcoming, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the towels and sheets were soft. The yard between the main house and the cottage is a lovely place to have coffee in the morning (nice Keurig, by the way!) and there is parking right in the driveway. The house is super close to grocery shopping, restaurants on the Alameda, and about 3 miles to the Santa Clara campus -- quick drive. Gwen was super responsive and helpful. OK the planes are noisy but we noticed they stopped after about 1030pm. The detached cottage does not have its own bathroom but it's convenient to use the one steps away, thru the back door of the main house. The detached cottage has a mini-split for AC; the main house has a Nest thermostat and if you're not familiar with these, you can figure it out by watching a short YouTube video. We loved our stay here and highly recommend it! ##### Jennifer G. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Broc P. 20 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Top Ten Percent This is a top ten percent place. Though the listing reads "cozy," there's plenty of room and the separate/private room in the backyard is a big plus. The house is a great mix of adorable decades old style within a modern renovation - notably modern kitchen and bathrooms. The back yard was actually our favorite part. With the ideal weather and comfortable seating our group enjoyed most of social time there. I've read the other reviews and yes there are airplanes overhead from time to time, yest there's some traffic noise and we had some noisy neighbors one night. Part of what makes this place great is how close it is to everything anyone would want to do in San Jose or Santa Clara. These are urban places; quiet solitude is not normally found in such places. We didn't meet our property manager, but she was responsive and helpful. We didn't have any significant issues during our stay. Perhaps the only thing that bothered us was the surveillance camera pointed toward the backyard - which was, in effect, our living room. Nevertheless, the icky feelign of being watched didn't prevent us from loving our time out there. ##### Broc P.
