Gary and Dagmar have a great location on top of San Jose. The views are amazing during the day but breathtaking at night. The apartment is much better in person than in the pictures. We had a great time the 4 days we were there.
They are great hosts and they have the sweetest dog and cat (Willy and Cat). The apartment has Disney+ and a Roku. The place is spotless with a well-stocked kitchen (there was a Keurig!) that will be useful for a family of 4. It's nicely decorated with thoughtful touches like wood countertops and plants all over. We were all remotely working and distance learning and there were plenty of spaces for us to use and stretch out (bedrooms had desks, countertop/bar area, deck area and downstairs grass area) with awesome WiFi. We will definitely be back in the future!
Our favorites:
1. The pool was sooo fun! My girls loved the slide and diving board. The view by the pool is amazing so even if you are there to watch the kids, you'll still enjoy it. They ask that kids are not left unattended. My kids are good swimmers but we respected their request.
2. Their pets were very sweet but knew not to come into the apartment which is important if you have allergies!
3. We were invited to visit their friendly cows and feed the chickens but we forgot to.
4. My kids loved the snacks that Gary and Dagmar left out for them.

Some things to keep in mind:
1. The views are amazing because the place is up a long and windy road. Don't let this deter you. They are only 10-15 minutes to San Jose. Make sure you bring plenty of groceries so you don't have to leave this wonderful place for a while.
2. The apartment does not have AC which is not a problem in the evening but it got warm during the day so of course we hung out at the deck and pool area!
