During the holidays, we arranged for two of our family members to stay a week at the fat squirrel cottage. Located in a quiet neighborhood, central to many restaurants and shopping along the Alameda, it was the perfect starting point to explore San Jose and the surrounding areas. Bonnie was welcoming and responsive, going above and beyond to make their stay as comfortable as possible (providing extra cookware, toiletries, and other items during their stay). The cottage was clean, stylish and comfortable, and the garden was lush and beautiful. We would absolutely recommend the Fat Squirrel Cottage to anyone wanting to stay in San Jose!
