I stayed with Cindy for three nights at her home in San Jose. The neighborhood is quiet and well located if you're planning on driving into downtown San Jose or anywhere in town.
The room is basic, but has everything you need - desk, bed, chair. The restroom is shared, but has easy access, just two steps away.
Cindy as a host was very welcoming. She was flexible with my late arrival into town and is an experienced host (gives you space and freedom, but very helpful if needed). Bottom line: if you're looking for basic accommodation in San Jose with a flexible and kind host, stay with Cindy.
