Flora’s casita is seriously adorable. I was son town for work and was staying by myself. I absolutely loved staying there. It’s very cozy and comfortable and the decor, including the cacti in the bathtub outside, was so California. It was a quick Uber ride to downtown. The casita has everything I needed: Shampoo, shower gel, hand soap, a hair dryer, mini fridge and coffee (a wonderful Nespresso maker). Bed was comfortable.
Flora was a wonderful host: very responsive, offered detailed instructions, and even checked on me via message just to see if there was anything I needed. She left earplugs on the table for nighttime as there are trains that pass nearby and there are chickens in the backyard (neither bothered me but I live in New York so I’m used to noise).
Just a couple random observations/opinions about the neighboring area: It felt a little “gritty” to me. As in, as a single woman I wouldn’t walk around alone too much there at night. Also, maybe my Google maps failed me, but I couldn’t find a pharmacy anywhere close...actually, I could barely find one in downtown San Jose at all. Just worth noting if you forget something and don’t have a car.
I would stay here again and would recommend Flora’s casita to anyone!
