This can be a first-rate place to stay while you visit the San Jose area, but there are some limitations for cooking and working. The location was convenient for our needs. Parking was easy. House was clean and comfortable (especially once we figured out thermostat). Hosts were responsive to questions. There were two main drawbacks. First, while the kitchen has nice appliances, it is missing some basic essentials that would make it functional for guests like us who want to actually cook and eat there; this could be easily remedied without much expense by the hosts. (I sent suggestions privately.) Second, the “dedicated workspace” amenity must refer to the kitchen table or living room couch, because there is not a separate private space. Furthermore, those two spaces do not have adequate access to outlets or good task lighting. But if you mainly need a space to sleep and relax, this unit should meet your needs!
