The Private Cottage is beautiful, spacious and super clean - the linens and towels are newly washed and like new. Surrounding grounds are beautiful... my only wish was that I was not in San Jose for business, as I would have loved to have had downtime just to relax in their sunny spacious garden. Neighborhood is safe and central with similarly beautiful homes. Suzanne was great to be in touch with me before and while I was there, always asking if I needed anything - and giving me great directions arriving and parking. I even received fresh towels and my bed was fixed. This and the chocolate chip cookie was a nice touch! I highly recommend their charming cottage and would hope it's available the next time I need a place in San Jose :)
