We stayed here for three nights, and were very pleased with everything about the place. Most notable, it’s so clean! Everything is fresh and new. There was a big screen TV and it was easy to sign on to our Netflix account and watch movies, which was a great relief after having just driven for two solid days!
The location was very central for us, as we were visiting family in San Jose but also wanted to be a tourist and made day trips to San Francisco and Santa Cruz/Monterey/Big Sur.
We found the apartment complex to be very quiet, and the covered parking extremely close and convenient to the suite.
There is some road noise from the expressway during the morning rush hour, but to me it was like white noise and also I was waking up early anyway. If you’re a light sleeper you might want to pack some earplugs.
The host had a couple of nice surprises for us, fresh water, a snack, tea, and a complete set of towels for each guest.
I found the master bed very comfortable and the kids slept on the full-size air mattress.
The kitchen was very well appointed so we could cook if we wanted to, but we just made spaghetti and salad that we bought from Trader Joe’s, which is within walking distance (we drove because we are lazy).
While we were meaning to swim in the pool we never got around to it, though it looks nice, with plenty of lounge chairs for relaxing.
We ended up checking out an hour late (due to a visit with my dying father who did not want us to leave - the hosts could not have known why and we didn’t tell them) however we did inconvenience the hosts as they came at the regular check out time and we were not ready yet. I don’t usually make a habit of that sort of thing but the hosts were extremely gracious about it.
Also I lost the keys (I believe I left them at my sick fathers house, but we had to get on the road again and there was no time to go looking for them there) which will most certainly cause a big inconvenience for the hosts with changing of locks and all of that.
Again, they were nothing but gracious and understanding.
Because this was a very sad and stressful visit for us, having the hosts be so gracious and having such a nice clean place to come to each night, provided us a little relaxation and stress relief.
Cannot recommend this place more highly!
