I stayed here for 2 months for academic purposes. The room is small but good enough for 1 person. It has everything you need and made me feel like I was living at home. It's close to many restaurants and bars in walking distance. Easy to catch the bus or train if you don't have a car. CVS and Wholefood are only 15 mins away by walking if you need food or other toiletries for longer stay. 10 minutes to the San Jose airport and 40 minutes to SFO airport. The only problem is noise because there are restaurants and bars downstairs so you will hear music, people talking and screaming at night sometimes especially on the weekend and game nights but it's not that loud for me. Ryan probably knows this so he provides ear plugs in the room for his guests. I didn't use it though because it didn't bother me much but if you're very sensitive to sound, this is something you need to be aware of. Ryan is a great host. I had some problems with heat, sink and lights when I first got here and he sent someone to fix it as soon as I told him. I really had a pleasant stay here. Recommend for people who are looking for a place for long stay that makes you feel like home.
