The outdoor area is really amazing! Sadly we didn't have time to use the pool (we only stayed one night). The host was super responsive and gracious to let us use the pool at any time, as long as we were quiet. If you run cold like me, be sure to plan for the weather: even if the afternoon is hot, mornings and nights can be pretty cold in San Jose. The one thing that bothered us was that the toilet wasn't clean, which I'm sure PT would've helped us with, but we didn't stay long and to save time, we cleaned it ourselves with cleaning supplies under the sink. Since the other reviews are all positive about cleanliness, this was probably a one-off. Everything else was as described, spacious indoors and gorgeous outdoors!
