Our stay at Joanna's property in North San Jose/Santa Clara better than we could have ever imagined! Our need to find a local house (not a townhouse, or condo, or other multiple-unit dwelling) that accepted dogs was challenging. Because we were having home repairs done to our house in downtown San Jose (just a few miles away), we struggled to find the right fit for our family. We found success with Jo and Stu's home! It was extremely comfortable and I would HIGHLY recommend their home for anyone needing a local place to stay.
Of course if you are coming from out-of-the area and need a house not far from Levi Stadium, or any of the high-tech campuses in North San Jose, this is also the perfect place for you. We found the neighborhood to be feel very safe and often saw people taking walks with their families in the early evening. Noise was NEVER an issue. We stayed during a heatwave (~100 F) and the central air-conditioning kept us very comfortable both day and night.
The three bedrooms (with comfortable pillows and bed linens), two full bathrooms upstairs and 1/2 bath downstairs, fully equipped kitchen, both a living room and family room downstairs, along with a tree-lined backyard with multiple tables and chairs were the perfect touch to make our stay very comfortable. A few minutes away by car is a large Target store plus multiple restaurants. A CVS pharmacy is also in that same shopping area. We utilized both Door Dash and GrubHub for food delivery without any problems. While we didn't use it, there are gym facilities just a short walk away.
Many thanks to Jo and Stu for being exceptional hosts; in addition, special thanks to Eva for doing a thorough job of cleaning and sanitizing the home prior to our arrival.
Whenever we have a need for a local stay, make this your first home to check. As people who have used Air BnB properties in the US and Europe, we truly appreciated how communicative and accommodating are hosts were; they even were able to let us extend our our stay one more night due to contractor work delays on our own home. While I hope we don't have an emergency flood in our home again in the near future, I do know that if we need a place for our family to stay we will check this house's availability first!
