We rented the apartment for our daughter's graduation from SJSU. It was right across the street from the university which was perfect for not having to deal with parking on campus during the event. The apartment was much bigger than it looked in the photos. Having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms was very convenient. The fully stocked kitchen was nice as we didn't have to eat out for every meal.
Getting 2 parking spaces in the underground garage was a nice surprise as we had out of town guests join us for the event and they didn't have to deal with parking on the street or at the school.
There were lots of restaurants within walking distance but only 1 grocery store - a Grocery Outlet. Homeless people were also everywhere. We didn't have any problems with them but if that bothers you, you will have to find a place in the suburbs.
All in all it was a great place and if we come back to San Jose, I would stay here again.
