This is a great place to stay. It is out in the country but just a half hour from the center of San Jose and under 10 minutes from the Light Rail that runs through the center of Silicon Valley. There are good stores and facilities less than ten minutes away. There is a small BBQ in a little yard outside of the patio doors. The property is roomy, nicely decorated in a Southwestern kind of style, with interesting artwork and ornaments. It is light and airy. There is plenty of storage for clothes etc. The shower and bathroom are very nice. There were two complete sets of towels and washcloths, plus shampoo etc. The windows have good screens if you want some fresh air.
The cottage is in the backyard of a large property and has its own parking. It is easy to find. Everything that I needed was there, including a toaster, range and oven in addition to the normal appliances. The A/C unit stands in the family room but is very efficient. I didn’t have to run it for long after checking in to feel comfortable. Likewise, the very efficient Dyson heater/cooler made the bedroom comfortable before I went to bed.
The TV has Xfinity (Comcast) service so I was able to catch up on the news. The WiFi signal could be a bit stronger and the AT&T LTE cellphone signal was a bit weak, but I was able to work OK. There are ample electrical outlets and lighting. I was tired when I tried to find the kitchen lights but worked around my problem. I emailed the owner. I got an almost immediate reply but had already gone to sleep. [The bed and bedding were great, by the way.]. They had offered to share their evening meal or fix me a quick dish! Great hospitality and a super fast response. Thank You. 😄
This is definitely a place that I’d like to bring my wife for a few days as we have friends and family in the area but can’t always stay with them. The only downside for my wife is that there aren’t any facilities within easy walking distance if I have to drive somewhere, but that’s to be expected out in the country.
