Alex’s place worked out very well for a long term stay. He was a very gracious host, and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had throughout the stay. The place was very clean and came with all of the furniture and amenities we needed, even cable TV! we didn’t have a car, and although the area right around the apartment isn’t very walkable, it is right by a public bus stop that runs every 15 minutes and can take you to downtown or Santana Row where there are plenty of restaurants and bars. one drawback to note is that the smaller room doesn’t have AC, so it can get pretty hot in the summer in there, but the living room and master bedroom do have AC. overall, the place met our needs and I definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place to stay in San Jose!
