Anne is a wonderfully warm and welcoming host. Her communications with me were very clear and thoughtful to my needs as a guest.

The apartment or guest house is absolutely fabulous. About 12 to 15 feet from their house, the place has complete privacy, which I loved. No shared walls, just pleasantly separate. Lots of windows and beautiful natural light is a welcome feature of the apartment. The views are serene, calming and beautiful. From the front you see lush green rolling hills with horses grazing in the distance, from the back you are treated to a verdant oasis with humming birds and a variety of plants and trees.

The apartment is very spacious. You enter to a lovely living room with a dining area. The furniture is comfortable and very tasteful. Anne has taken a lot of time to make sure guests have everything they'd need to be comfortable. There is a full fridge and stove, toaster over, microwave.

I wish I could have stayed longer and fixed supper or breakfast, but unfortunately my trip was a bit short to get into that.

The bedroom has its own separate room, with one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. Don't let the photos fool you, the bedroom is super comfy and warm and also very spacious with a full wardrobe for your clothes and a nice sturdy end table for your luggage. A nice lamp with soft lighting and the perfect quiet made reading in bed blissful.

There is also a small space for ironing your clothes or you can store your bikes there just outside of the bathroom. Again, it's surprising how much space is in this lovely little guest house.

The bathroom has all of the essentials. Anne provides plenty of soft absorbant towels and even toiletries such as shampoo, body wash. The pressure in the shower was great and the hot water was plentiful. Some guest houses chince on the water heater in guest houses, but not this place. Both my partner and I were able to shower back to back, with me even washing my hair and there was plenty of hot water.

There is also parking, right outside of the apartment and a lovely sitting area which would be a wonderful place to have a cuppa tea and soak in the beautiful natural fauna.

Bottom line, this apartment is a real gem! It's 20 minutes from the airport with a brief 5 to 7 minute drive up into the beautiful hillsides of San Jose that will make you want to stop and take pictures it is so unexpectedly scenic.

I hope I have the pleasure of staying here again in the near future. Thanks Anne for a wonderful experience in San Jose.
