Excellent hosts! This was my second Airbnb in the San Jose area. My first host didn't respect my personal space and personal belongings. It was a horror story. Right from the beginning, this experience was very different. BacX team was very upfront with me. I received quick responses from the host during my stay. They respected my personal space. I appreciated that from the team.
The space itself was almost as bright as pictured in the photos. Even though the photos might have been enhanced just a very tiny bit, it was still almost as bright during the night and day. I didn't feel I was staying in a dingy unit. At night, it was surprising quiet even though the unit is next to a somewhat busy street at certain times. The bed inside the room next to the kitchen was firm, so it was pretty comfortable for me. The unit has it's own washer and dryer. The fridge also has an automatic ice maker. Trash/Recycling was easy enough, where you can throw is outside inside the city's containers.
Even though it was next to a that somewhat busy street, the location is in a relatively safe neighborhood when I stayed at the unit. It was safe enough for me to go for a walk outside during the evening hours without seeing unhoused individuals or sketchy people walking around. I saw neighbors on the street walk around (and some with their dogs) as well.
Target, Home Depot, and TJMaxx are all about 5-7 minutes away from this location by car. They aren't in easy walking distance. Within walking distance (2 blocks), you'll find eateries, markets, McD's, and 76 gas. The Pruneyard (with a Trader Joe's) is pretty close by car as well.
