Definitely a good find. I wasn’t expecting it to be here since it’s so close to San Jose! The place itself is lovely. The cottage is the perfect size and the bath tub was such a relaxing experience. Expect to be mindful of tub time and share with other guests if they’re around...
It was nice to get away and not have to hear fireworks for the 4th of July, but it does get cold at night so bring extra blankets if you run cold like I do.
There’s a few caveats as to why I docked a star: 1) neighbors are really close by. So if privacy is a concern, then this isn’t for you. I didn’t mind much because you can’t really see through the windows from outside unless you walk closer by but I know some people get paranoid about others seeing them with no curtains. 2) the mattress was concaved in the middle. I slept like a baby but my bf had a hard time with it. 3) communication concerns. I tried contacting George on both Airbnb and text a few days before with no response..so I figured he must be on vacation or super busy. We ended up arriving about 30 mins earlier and the in person interaction we had was kind of uncomfortable. His choice of words made us feel guilty we were there earlier but if we were able to get a response from him then no confusion would’ve occurred.
All in all, it’s a nice getaway from the city. The price with cleaning fees was a bit more than similar locations I’ve stayed at but I think his cat, Smartus made it worth it. He was the most entertaining and memorable thing on our trip! Thank you for opening up your property for us Airbnb’ers!
