After a decade plus of using Airbnbs across North America I have to say that Joelle’s place was perhaps the nicest rental unit I have stayed in. The quality of the furnishings and construction and cleanliness of the unit was amazing. The unit has central air and heat which we did not need to use because there are fans in the bedroom and living room and a gas fire place that warms up the living space wonderfully on chilly mornings. There is a full kitchen that had a delish bottle of wine complements of Joelle and most importantly an electric kettle - we travel with our own French press - which made our stay even better!
My partner and I stayed 5 days while he attended a conference in San Jose and I hiked and birded the areas around us. It was the perfect location to drop him off in the morning then be in near-wilderness in a half hour in almost any direction. Joelle was working from home so it would have been easy to touch base with if we had any real difficulties. I highly recommend Joelle’s place as the home base for a wonderful vacation / work trip in the South Bay Area.
