Thao's place was perfect for my partner and I's weekend getaway. The space is actually very spacious for a little studio and has everything you really need inside. Location wise this place is also perfect, as it is only a short 10 minute walk to Santana Row where there is a lot of restaurants and food choices, and also shopping there and across the street at Valley Fair.
Aside from the space, Thao was extremely communicative and was available to us when we had any questions. She and her family live in the main part of the house, so when we had a little bit of a check-in problem (which turned out was me being dumb lol) she came out immediately to help us out.
Do be aware that the walls are pretty thin and she does have a second unit adjacent to the one we stayed in, and our unit was connected to the main house by one side of the wall, so sound does travel and can be heard. It is mentioned in the listing details and it wasn't much of an issue for us. Everyone seemed to follow the quiet hours after 10pm very well so we never really heard too much except in the mornings. She was also very thoughtful and gave me a heads up for a late check-in guest, and does provide a white noise machine in the unit as well.
Overall I highly recommend staying with Thao as her place is exactly what you expect from the photos and more! Plus, the location is truly unbeatable and she is a great host. 10/10 experience staying with her this weekend :)
