Dana is a phenomenal host with a beautiful space in one of San Jose's most attractive neighborhoods. I'll start off by saying that Dana's listing for this suite is accurate to a T. The only thing that's left out is the fact that once you get to the studio, you'll finds there's even MORE outstanding places to discover barely a block away. Other than that, this brand new studio is exactly as described and as lovely as it's pictures. We were very impressed by the outstanding cleanliness upon our arrival, as well as how easy it was to check in.
As far as the location goes, the neighborhood is amazing. That being said, there are excellent ice cream shops, restaurants, bars and unique shops within a 5 minutes walk away (if you're a real slow walker like husband maybe 10 mins lol). Also CVS, Walgreens and Safeway grocery store are also only a 5 - 10 min walk from your door. All forms of public transportation is easily accessible, a rental car is not necessary at all but parking looked easy as well.
All in all, Dana's studio would be an excellent home base for exploring all San Jose has to offer. Dana was very communicative and made it clear if any issues arose, although nothing came up to call anytime. If you're looking for an eye catching new studio that's super clean and cozy to stay while you explore the city, absolutely look no further! I'm already trying to plan my second stay here :-)
