Pretty good stay, I enjoyed my time here.
Photos were accurate to the listing and the furnishings were very comfortable. I would consider staying here again.
A few things to note during my stay:
1. The driveway entry curb is a little high. If your vehicle has low suspension, be careful driving up the main driveway and/or consider the street parking, which there is a lot of and is not a problem finding in Yuan's quiet neighborhood.
2. As someone standing 5'11, the main hallway bathroom shower isn't as tall, so I had to duck down a little bit during my showers. Not a big deal, just a minor inconvenience if you're a bit taller using the second bathroom. Another person in my group is 6'3 and was using the master bedroom shower with no complaints, so no height issues with that bathroom shower.
3. As with a majority of Bay Area properties, I think it's good to point out that central AC isn't common. This wasn't an issue, even during my stay in the summer season, as the individual units were strong enough and Santa Clara never really touched beyond the mid-80's, so the property was cool enough throughout the day. It's mentioned in the listing but just thought I'd reiterate it in the reviews.
4. A lot of natural light in the house, which is good and keeps the inside of the house bright during the day.
5. The Main TV in the living room is enough to accommodate viewers sitting around it. Although there is a TV in the secondary living room, it isn't the largest TV and it was a little bit hard seeing what was on the screen relative to the couch distance. I believe those are the only two TV's within the house. For my group and I who were out and about the Bay Area for a majority of our trip, we did not find this to be an issue for we were tired coming home most nights and didn't really utilize the TVs.
6. The desk in the bedroom was good for work from home activities. It is large and Yuan provides a nice office chair with it, which was comfortable as I took some long midterms for my summer semester.
Yuan is a great host and would answer questions in a timely manner during my stay. The property is in a nice, quiet neighborhood of Santa Clara and is really the travel distance to major campus corporations he has mentioned in his listing. I would definitely consider staying here again and perhaps even consider other Yuan properties he may have available next time I make a trip to the Bay Area.
