This is an older boarding-house style place. The codes on the doors and front door are a good idea, much better than working with keys. The house is very close to the light rail/bus pickup. The nearest grocery store is about 3 blocks away. There is a Starbucks about 4 blocks away. San Jose State University is approximately 5 blocks away. The location is near a park that is not the safest area - just exercise caution and stay alert. I did not feel very safe coming through the area at night so I made sure I returned to the house before sunset each day since I was walking everywhere. The house itself is clean but does have that "old house" smell to it. The bathrooms are clean. There are 3 hall bathrooms with showers (2 down, 1 up) and one hall bathroom with a toilet (upstairs). The tiny room #15 is indeed very tiny. It has a single bed, one pillow, a nightstand with 3-outlet extension cord, dresser, television, and closet. There is no chair to sit on the balcony. Be advised that there is no desk or table in room #15, and while there is a desk in the hallway outside the room, it is a dark, windowless hallway in a public area, so probably not appropriate for getting actual work done. In hindsight I should have chosen a room with a desk. I thought I'd enjoy sitting on the balcony but with no chair to do so, that was not the case.
