I was attending a concert at Shoreline Amphitheater and flying out of San Jose airport the next day, and Alison's place delivered on every level.
The location is perfect to me - so lovely in a quiet residential neighborhood, she offers ample parking with good proximity to shops and restaurants, the airport a super easy 10 minute drive, Shoreline a simple 20 minutes away, and charming downtown Campbell mere minutes away.
As I am a cat lover (and you'll quickly learn how much of one Alison is too) this place was absolute paradise! Hobbes is all sorts of precious - so very sweet, so friendly and simply overflowing with cuteness. He's just an awesome cat and made the stay that much greater.
Alison's home is perfectly lovely, the room is so cozy (great bed), a beautiful garden that I regretfully wish I had spent time in. She offered great coffee in the morning and as she is a native Californian, has much knowledge of the area and she had so many wonderful stories to tell! In fact Alison is so wonderfully personable, we literally chatted all morning!
In the end my only regret is I didn't have a longer stay! It was the perfect place to end a great week's vacation in California. It was simply one of the best Airbnb stays I've had for so many reasons and I most certainly plan on returning.
