Diana gave me a friendly, warm welcome, & a thorough introduction to everything her house & city had to offer. I felt comfortable immediately.
I really appreciated the terrific location of Diana & Miranda's home ~ I walked to great coffeehouses, restaurants, art museums, an outdoor movie, post office, & bus / transit stops. And there's a neighborhood market right across the street, where I bought a few groceries to use in the well-supplied guest kitchen.
If you love old houses, as I do, you'll enjoy this lovely home with its quirks, creaks, & charms. The vibe is cozy, eclectic, funky, creative, fun-loving, & very comfortable. I wanted to move right in. (Note: Folks who want a traditional shower, or who have some mobility issues, may find the bathtub less than ideal: it's a beautiful, clean clawfoot tub with a handheld shower head; and it's situated beneath a sloped ceiling, which could make climbing in & out a bit tricky.)
I had a great 4-day visit in San Jose in part because of this home, & I'd stay again!
