Great value! I stayed in a few shared accommodations in the Santa Clara / San Jose area and this is by far one of the best. The caretaker for the house lives on the premises, so everything was well taken care of. There is a cleaner that takes care of the common areas a few times a week. Unlike other places, all the kitchen utensils were present and were clean.
Although not shown in the pictures, the room has a desk and two chairs that I found comfy. Internet is high speed and I was able to work from home and take meetings without any issues.
The room is very spacious and has both a bed, a couch, a desk, a small walk-in closet although it does not feel cluttered. There were some past comments complaining about the mattress being too hard. I discussed this with the host before booking and I was pleased to find one of the softest plush mattresses. Thank you very much Peter for being so accommodating. There is a heat pump / AC minisplit in the room that is great because you can adjust the temperature individually and do not depend on the central AC, like some other homes have.
Communication with the host was flawless, and Peter always responded within minutes. Check-in/out was a breeze. Washer/Dryer exist outside the house, so they do not bother anyone when they run. One shared bathroom and one shared kitchen for the three AirBnB rooms on the premises. Neighborhood is peaceful and quiet and 1 minute drive from the nearest freeway. There is plenty of parking outside the property (dedicated, rather than street parking).
All in all, great place. I hope my positive review does not raise the price or popularity, because I'd love to stay here again.
