The casita is lovely and peaceful. I wasn’t looking to relax since I was in San Jose for a conference, but sitting out in the little back area made it easy to destress after a long day. It’s super quiet generally, more like a little oasis. The casita itself is comfortable and well furnished and the house is easily walkable to downtown San Jose (or you can hop on a scooter, which are everywhere). I’d certainly recommend and would 100% stay again.
