I visited San Jose to attend a convention. I'm an introvert, so it's helpful for me to have somewhere quiet to retreat after being around lots of people. This was the perfect lodging arrangement for me. The room I rented was spacious and clean. The amenities were better than I was expecting (two big squishy pillows per bed, plenty of towels, detachable showerhead in one of the bathrooms). The location is great, I didn't rent a car but the light rail is a short walk, as are a decent selection of bars and restaurants and a supermarket. All of my interactions with the host were online, so if you're looking for an Airbnb experience where you're going to hang out with your host, this probably isn't your perfect match. But if you want a quiet, simple space to decompress after a busy day, this is a great option.
