I was only in San Jose for 1 night and needed a place to sleep. Marc and Linda are very nice people. Their house was only 1.2 miles from the convention center downtown was was super convenient for me. I'm a conservative spender and opted to stay here because it was much less expensive than a hotel. I also like the feeling of being in a home rather than a superficial place. Linda are Marc were welcoming and, laid back, and friendly.

On the downside, the sheets were not cotton, there was a big crack in the ceiling that was like "bam" when you're lying in bed, and the carpet was pretty stained. In the pics the room looks exactly like it does in person except you don't see the crack in the ceiling, the dirty carpet, and the sheet quality.

I feel like if you are going to charge $60 and up per night for someone to sleep in your home it should be super clean and comfortable. It doesn't have to be designer and cost a lot but there are affordable ways to make it that way.

I'd like to mention the positives again because other than that I mentioned above it was fine. It felt safe, the location was perfect if you have something going on downtown, the coffee was good in the morning, and they are very nice people.
