Charisse's Cottage was perfect for our short-term stay. It is located in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood. After many early morning and evening walks, I found the neighbors friendly and there is a lovely park within three blocks. The location is close to excellent shopping and only minutes from the freeway system that offers easy access to everything in San Jose and the South Bay area. Best of all, Charisse is easy to contact and quick to respond and a very gracious host.
