I loved Hannelore's place. It was cozy, cute, and perfect for one person. (It was definitely much nicer than staying in a conference hotel!) Hannelore was a gracious host, which I greatly appreciated. I also loved the neighborhood. Being in walking distance of great Vietnamese and Indian food was a plus. In sum, I highly recommend this cozy little gem of a place if you're a solo-traveler staying in San Jose. :)
