Jose's place is beautiful and accurate as shown in the pictures. It has a very luxurious/high-end feel. However, it is a place that Jose lives in and rent it out while he's out of town, etc. Therefore, it is not a guest home by any mean. We love the place very much, but unfortunately, we felt as if we are intruding on someone's private home which was the case. There are more rules to the rental than what's described in the profile. These additional rules are totally acceptable as they reflected the necessity to a new remodeled place. Therefore we feel as if we are walking on eggshells in some instances. For example, after a long day out and about, we don't really feel relaxed as we are on alert and make sure we do not damage any furniture by sitting in them too harshly, etc. Also, what's not mentioned in the apt. layout is the bathroom's configuration. The toilet is in one room by itself with a door and no sink and then the bathtub/shower with the sink is in another room without a door. They are however next to each others. This is something we thought need to be mentioned if one is not used to the layout. The location is good and perfect for lots of great restaurants and bars such as La Traviata (GREAT Italian) and Iron and Gold (Cocktails). It is also about 10 mins walk to the BART. I would recommend Jose's place as long as you are comfortable with what's described above, but maybe even short stay just to take in the nice design of a beautiful place.
