Kelly’s home is in a really beautiful neighborhood that is really nice to walk through. San Jose in general is not a very walkable city, so there weren’t very many restaurants/ shops super close, but the neighborhood is very suburban so that was actually quite nice. Kelly was very accommodating, letting me check in early and helping me when I flubbed up my booking the first time. She also laid out snacks and bottles of water for us! So sweet. The walls are very thin, though, so I had trouble sleeping when neighborhood dogs would bark, and my friend staying in the other room (you’ll be sharing a bathroom and living room with another person if your schedules overlap) was woken up by kids playing. The house is decorated for more utility than anything else, which is sometimes funny. Everything is very clean!
