Esther is a great host and person! She's very communicative and accommodating. Her home is beautiful and has everything you may need. I stayed here for a little under two weeks and had a wonderful experience. Her home is in a perfect location: close to down town San Jose and all of the shops, while still being in a quiet suburb. There are 3 other roommates who are very friendly and quiet too (I only met one of them) so you really feel like you have your own space and privacy. Plus, one roommate has two adorable cats. Overall, terrific experience. Thank you Esther!
