Originally I had chosen a different house managed by Harnek but that reservation had to be canceled. This is not necessarily the house I would have chosen but with slim pickings this was one of the only choices. My impressions of it:
It was clean and well appointed. There were plenty of towels and cooking implements.
It is on a busy road. You can hear traffic noise in the house. It woke me up each morning I was there.
The living room is spacious and had plenty of room for the four of us.
The neighborhood is not necessarily pedestrian-friendly. It has sidewalks on the major roads but you are walking on loud major roads and there aren’t any coffee shops or cafes that are close by. My brothers and sister stayed at this house for the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament. Our hope was that it would be walkable to downtown and restaurants. This was not the case. The closest item of interest is Santana Row which is an outdoor shopping mall. The walk there was down a busy road. Old San Jose, San Pedro Square and the SAP Center were all a car ride away.
