I’ll start off by saying that I never like to have to leave a negative review. Almost all of my Airbnb experiences have been extremely positive.
Cham is a lovely woman and was very kind in welcoming me into her home upon my late arrival. She was quiet and respectful. The space was well organized and uncluttered, was very welcoming.
However, upon my arrival I noticed a strong, thick moldy odor. As an older San Jose home, toxic mold growth is probably fairly common, and not the intention of the home owner, however as a healthcare professional who treats chronic illness resulting from mold, I believe it’s very important that guests be aware that if they are sensitive to mold or have underlying sinus, respiratory, or immune conditions, staying here is not likely to be comfortable for you (I had burning eyes and sinuses within an hour of my arrival). If any of these apply to you, best to look at other listings for your stay.
