Staying in Willow Glen at Joy’s guesthouse is a good option for you if you’re staying in San Jose, CA. It’s in a nice local area with tons of stores, shops, restaurants, and food trucks. Also not far from Santa Cruz if you desire to go to the beach. It’s only a 45min to an hour drive.
Joy is very hospitable, polite and responds in a timely manner. If you need anything just let her know, she’ll bring it to your door. Her husband Dan offered us fresh fruit from their Lemon, Mandarine and Orange trees out back. Told us to help ourselves to them whenever. :)
House has full kitchen with all essential amenities. Full bathroom with washer, dryer, iron, and ironing board. Also provided laundry detergent and dryer sheets. Anything that you need she probably provides to you.
Most importantly, this place is was one of the most affordable stays that I could find in the San Jose. I HIGHLY recommend this place. You won’t regret it. Promise.
