The house is very large and has plenty of space but it has way too many knick-knacks to be an Airbnb. A lot of them are glass, in the way, and unnecessary.
I am giving three stars because we had a dispute about trash. When I arrived the refrigerator was full of food (the cabinets were also full of expired food). I asked if I could toss out some stuff to make some room and he consented. He has a small trashcan that already had trash in it, so by the time I was done the can was full.
All of the trash that was created during my stay was bagged in black trash bags and left by the trashcan. I then get a message demanding that I pay for excess garbage because the city of San Jose does not pick up anything outside of the trashcan. That is a lie; I looked up the information myself and found that the city of San Jose will pick up excess garbage outside of the trashcan as long as the bags are marked. I offered to pay the rate at which the city charges for the excess bags, he then said we left 17 bags of trash. This was also a lie. Good thing there was photographic evidence to prove the contrary.
Just be aware and document everything if you decide to book this place. I’ve stayed at numerous Airbnb’s around the world and have never had a dispute with a host. If you look at any of his negative reviews you can see by his responses that he does not take criticism well. I am sure under this review he will do the same.
Other things to note:
-	The bed in the Master bedroom is really hard. Someone else complained about this and he said there is a foam topper, which is not true.
-	It’s a very residential area, there isn’t a lot nearby. The airport and downtown area are 10-15 mins away.
-	Someone (a man) lives on the property, so just be aware because you will see him walking around the side of the house to get to his entrance and he parks in front of the house because it is also his home.
