Pros:
• One of the most affordable 1 bedroom Airbnbs in the area
• Very walkable distance from Japantown, Downtown San Jose and San Pedro Square
• Ring door camera and automatic padlock adds extra feeling of security
• Carlos is very responsive and kind
Cons:
• Loud. You can hear every movement of the neighbors outside and upstairs
• While the place is in close walking distance to other more lively parts of San Jose, the actual block that Carlos’s apartment is on is dark and quiet
• The place is more run-down than expected. For example, the shower faucet handle kept falling off and the shower wouldn’t turn on without my boyfriend having to fix it every time.
• No A/C
• The place wasn’t super clean. There was a burn hole in the bed sheet, eyelashes in the silverware drawer, etc
