Location- close to Japantown, about 15min driving from Downtown. Most places seem to be within 30min driving when in peak rush-hour. Very quiet neighborhood. Shared yard with a friendly dog.
Amenities- small stove, all dishes/pans necessary for a meal, a small beverage fridge that is adequate for food, a hot shower, comfortable bed, fast wifi, a tv with good streaming capabilities. There is a desk with one chair which is adequate for meals, but mealtime can be tight if there are two occupants (I ate standing while wife sat). Free street parking, laundry in the garage.
All-in-all, San Jose is expensive and this guest suite packs comfort in a consolidated, affordable location.
