This bottom floor, rear apartment has extremely favorable access to major highways in the Santa Clara area - it was extremely easy for us to get to anywhere on the peninsula or to San Jose. Larry, the host, is extremely responsive, fixing and helping with things very quickly. The apartment was very clean when we walked in. And because it has been kept simple, it was easy to move into and maintain. We could prepare meals side by side in the kitchen. The appliances and fixtures are new and in good shape. The beds were comfortable. As noted in other reviews, the washer and dryer required coins to operate and are in a shared attached room which requires a separate key which we contacted Larry to obtain. The kitchen was adequately stocked with utensils, pans and cutting boards - it was missing some mixing/storage bowls. There is some noise from the neighbors - as perhaps common in first floor apartments. Overall, the apartment was a good value and I would look to rent from Larry again! And the weather was perfect, and we really enjoyed our stay in Santa Clara. Thanks Larry!!!
