Enjoyed sharing space with Rob in his beautiful home in the hills. Great hospitality, he had coffee ready for me every morning and provided extra toiletries upon request. I worked from home part of my stay, and enjoyed the great wifi connection from both my personal balcony and the shared patio. Lots of places to spread out and take in the views. Great for both sunsets and sunrises, with a direct view of downtown San Jose! It was also walking distance to Alum Rock, with plenty of shady trails and canyon vistas for hikers of all ages and abilities.
To note, the room is not air conditioned which made it slow to cool down in the evenings when temperatures were near 90°F (32°C) during the day. (Pretty common with most homes in the Bay Area.) The last night of my stay was more mild, and quite comfortable with the breeze blowing in from the balcony. Great place for the cooler months. Would also recommend parking on the street as driveway is on a hill.
All in all, I'll definitely stay with Rob again the next time I'm in town!
