This is such a beautiful place and it's absolutely full of beautiful, personal touches. Lovely green glass knobs on the cupboards, wine and beer in the fridge, a really well-stocked kitchen (I cooked full meals every night I was here) and gorgeous antique furniture. The bed is a piece of art and is also very comfortable.
The main room is a little dark during the day so I kept the front door open almost constantly - the shower of bougainvillaea framing the entrance looked like a painting. Suzanne and Mike were gracious hosts who were always attentive but never intrusive.
The neighborhood is amazing for walking around in - there are those Little Free Library kiosks on almost every corner. I loved browsing through the wide range of collections on offer. And the San Jose houses are all so special.
I found a wonderful family run grocery store which is far superior to Trader Joe's and Safeway: It's called Zanotto's. If you follow Suzanne's directions to the Rose Garden on Naglee, just keep walking another long block. It's at 1970 Naglee. Fabulous fruit, veg, wine, cheese, deli, bakery, flowers as well as all the usual grocery items.
