Carlos is a warm and friendly host! His home is in a quiet residential neighborhood with lots of shopping and dining options in easy walking distance. It's also very convenient for travelers. My Uber ride to the airport took just under 15 minutes. The room was clean. The bathroom was clean and shared. The bed was very firm, way too firm for me but if that's your preference, it will be comfortable for you. Overall, it was a very good value when compared with hotel rooms in San Jose.
