Grace and Jonno were very welcoming and supportive. Their house is beautiful, with a large backyard, and located in a great neighborhood. I had an excellent experience staying with them.
My wife and I stayed at their place for over two weeks, while moving to the Bay area from LA and looking for an apartment. Grace and Jonno’s house felt like home during this transitional time. The room was fully furnished and well designed, with a gorgeously redesigned bathroom and unique furniture built by Jonno. The wifi was fast and the television had multiple streaming options. It was also great to have a full kitchen with a microwave, mini-fridge, toaster, dishware, slow cooker, and more (minus a stove top).
Grace was very friendly and always responsive to any requests or questions. She gave recommendations for walkable and local restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores. If she was home, she would also check in with us and see how our apartment hunting was going. Jonno was also extremely helpful. While attending a concert in downtown Oakland, my car window was smashed out (though nothing stolen). Jonno helped me remove the rest of the broken window and clean out the glass from the car seat. This was beyond what most hosts would have done and it made the later glass replacement much faster.
The location of their house is also excellent, in the beautiful historic Rose Garden neighborhood. It was a great place to walk or go for a run, with the Rose Garden just up the street. Nearby, there were a number of great restaurants, the new Whole Foods complex, and the Diridon CalTrain Station. Overall it was an excellent experience, that I would recommend to others staying in San Jose.
