We booked a room here last minute as it was affordable, offered parking, and seemed to have what we needed (a bed).
That’s where the positives end. I know that Airbnb is a source of revenue for folks and that’s part of why I often support over hotels when practical. However, it is clear that Jessica takes very little pride in providing a comfortable, clean place for her guests and is instead relying on a “low” price to attract out of towners. I feel it is my responsibility to set the record straight about what this place is.
To enter, you walk around to the side of the house and through a door to the unkempt front yard. After entering, you see the living room and kitchen. Our room was upstairs and we were glad there was an inside lock.
Noise travels a lot between rooms and guests were generally disrespectful of the “quiet hours” that were listed on the house rules. Out of Jessica’s control, but something for prospective guests to be aware of.
The room itself was adequate. Little effort made, but simple is okay. Didn’t feel especially dirty at first glance.
The bathroom, on the other hand, was disgusting. Clearly no effort is made to clean daily. Stuff on the ground around the toilet and on the floor of the shower. A bandaid was used to keep a switch on for the fan!Brown paper towels sat on the sink top in a big oversized roll. The garbage can was surrounded by dirty paper towels. If they can’t be bothered to clean the bathroom, why charge each guest of the 5 rooms a $25 cleaning fee? The state of the bathroom made us worry that the sheets weren’t clean either.
In summary, the owner is seemingly glad to coast by profiting around $400/night with little care for upkeep and cleanliness. You can find better in San Jose, I’m sure. And your money is better given to someone more deserving.
Dozens of solid Airbnb stays in the past and our first negative experience, steer clear.
