I stayed at Cindy's house for three months. I had full privacy and could lock my room door. The house was cleaned professionally once a month and Cindy gave everyone a 24 hour notice before hand. Overall, Cindy's house was comfortable and quiet. Its a 25 minute walk the the local train station making San Jose easily accessible, and its a 13 minute walk to the local shopping area with groceries and a great sushi place. Overall I had a great summer and would happily come back!
