My original plan was to stay at Jenny's place for a month. Now I am on my 3rd month!
Jenny's place is as advertised. Although Jenny's place is advertised as a private room, for all practical purposes the room and the way it is set up feels like you have the entire place to yourself. The biggest advantage is that you have a private bathroom for yourself and a personal fridge. And the place is big with ample storage and lots of natural light. There is a shared area that has a microwave and coffee maker, and refreshments and coffee pods are always stocked! There seem to be two other rooms here, but I hardly ever see them or hear them. This place is exceptionally quiet for a private room. The kitchen is the only missing piece - but between the microwave and the private fridge it was very easy to manage. The location is great. Close to lots of stores, gym, minutes from downtown San Jose and provides easy access to most places in south bay. The place has its own private car parking.
I was mostly in contact with VeeAnn, the co-host, during my stay. VeeAnn is extremely responsive and resolves any problems if any almost immediately. They provided both a wash-and-fold service and a laundry service if needed at very nominal rates. This was very convenient. They also changed towels on a weekly basis if needed. I occasionally ran into VeeAnn's uncle and aunt who stay at this place who are very friendly and helpful!
So, if you need your own private place but are hesitant about a private room - don’t! This is a great place and I highly recommend it.
