A very good apartment ,perfect for a couple but not for any additional people .
Very clean and convenient to downtown San Jose which is within 1 mile on 1 st street.
good views of mountains from large window .
.Having given it a 5 star rating I really wish Air BNB would allow fractional ratings which will be more accurate.
It was better than a 4 but not a perfect 5 ,I would say perhaps 4.6 due to certain things that detract.
Communication with Li was flawless ,always via text that was answered promptly.
Instructions were near perfect.
The apartment itself is fairly spacious with a large size bathroom , good basic kitchen, quiet dishwasher , decent stove and microwave .very nice Breakfast table for 6
a well lit vanity for two .
By the looks ,it is a very new apartment and very well maintained .
Even though it is not in a great place ,the way it is constructed , with garage entry etc ,it is very secure .
why I won't give it 5 stars :
slow showerhead with no attachments or handle ,
pots and pans that are really not for cooking anything.
absence of even the smallest welcome snack/coffee/tea/sugar/creamer to get someone going before they get their bearing .
it is not located in a very nice area that one can go out for a walk and enjoy the walk.
it is located right on 1st street which can be busy fairly late in night and early morning with traffic and if one is light sleeper this apartment is definitely not for them.
It definitely provides good value if someone plans to stay 4 days or longer as hotel rooms start feeling very cramped in that time frame .
