Anne is a great host. She offered us a flexible check-in and check-out. Our flights were late and we arrived at her place very early in the morning and she waited for us and made sure we arrived at her place by turning a lot of outside lights. She also kept checking if everything was fine with us and offered help to us at once. She responses quickly. Both Anne and Mike are very nice. She knew that we would arrive in the very early morning, she even offered to set up the sofa-bed for my other 2 family members and provided us a basket of fruits and food for our breakfast. What a warm welcome to us.

Her place is accurately described as her listing. I found the real appearance of her place is very attractive and bright and neat that the photos cannot show them all. All the kitchen, bedroom and washroom items are very neat and clean. Besides, her place is up on the hill and the surrounding is comfortable and quiet. It is much worthy to stay away from the city area. We found a little time and walked up more to the top of the hill close by and watched sun setting.

She has a beautiful garden. Too bad we don't have time to go around yet but we enjoy the lemon picked directly from the lemon tree just outside the guest house where we stayed. We always made a cup of honey water with the fresh lemon in the morning and it's so refreshing.

To us, staying at Anne's place is much better than staying at hotel as it's on the hill that made us feeling much more relax but is still close to the city that we were able to buy food and eat and drive to different places, e.g. Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, Alum Rock Park, Monterey and San Francisco.

Next time we go to San Jose again, we will definitely stay at Anne's place again.

Nice to know you Anne and Mike. Wish you all well and see you next time. =)
