Jim and Lupe were very friendly hosts. I ended up arriving at the house later than I expected, but they stayed in touch with me and met me outside their door when I arrived. They live across from the cottage and greeted me with smiles and waves throughout my stay.
The cottage itself is small, but it contains everything that a single traveler needs. It was well-appointed with coffee, bottled water, snacks, and all of the linens, towels, etc. that you would expect.
The location was great - a short walk from Santana Row, restaurants, and parks. I really enjoyed going for walks in the neighborhood during the evening, when it was relatively cool outside.
All in all, the cottage is a great place to stay in San Jose. I would certainly come again.
