It was a very solid place to stay at a great price and location. While I can see the misgivings about the house being a bit run down and needing some cleaning, I had no issue with it. Noise level also isn’t too bad even with sharing a partitioned wall. Overall, you can’t beat the price being in the Bay Area, and I will definitely considering staying again next time I’m in San Jose. The host was also very communicative and kind!
