Cindy is a very welcoming host. I was lucky to be the first guest at this room, and I can't be more satisfied. She recommended many places to visit, and is always helpful. Her house is really beautiful and super clean; the room is exactly the same as the pictures show. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. I usually went out for dinner after the sunset, and as a single female I felt very comfortable at here. Cindy does have a cat, but you rarely see him since he is always out. The cat is super friendly so you should have no issue with him. Highly recommend this room to anyone visiting San Jose, and I definitely will go back!
