Great hotel alternative! I stayed at Ed & Toni's place with two of my coworkers, since we needed a place to stay for a 3-day conference in San Jose. The space is small, but Ed & Toni were super accommodating and made sure we each had a bed. You can tell that they put a lot of thought into making the place comfortable and inviting. They even had fruit and orange juice for us!

The neighborhood is mostly residential, but there are a few decent eateries within walking distance, which is great. Otherwise, my coworkers and I used Uber to get to downtown SJ, which was abot $14-18 each way. It's a bit removed from the bustle of downtown, but I preferred it to a stuffy, overpriced hotel with lots of hidden charges.

Also, Ed & Toni are the without a doubt the best Airbnb hosts I've had. They truly went out of their way to make sure our stay went well, and would check in via message every so often to see if we needed anything. I wouldn't hesitate to return!
