Staying at Sabrina's place was amazing! It is her childhood home and she cares deeply about it. It was super clean, extremely comfortable and full of thoughtful amenities which we did not anticipate.
The location is in old San Jose, right downtown and extremely convenient. It is a mixture of light industrial (car washes and shops) and traditional small single family homes. A number of the homes were already decorated with holiday attire. We walked the neighborhood many times with our kids and it didn't feel unsafe at all despite being in the smack dab middle of a metropolis.
Sabrina is an amazing host and we would love to stay at her property again when we return to San Jose next.
