I stayed in Alice's place for a week whilst in town for a conference, and it was honestly excellent! The bed was super comfortable, the shower was fantastic, and there was even milk in the fridge (along with a box of snacks, too!) It's an easy 25 minute walk from the centre of San Jose, so still easy to reach even if you don't have a car. I didn't meet Alice in person, but she couldn't have been more helpful over email :) I'd absolutely stay here again.
