The cottage was the perfect size: very cozy and comfortable. It was well insulated from the cold mornings and blocked out neighborhood noise very well. It had everything I needed, and Lynnea and Dan were at the ready if I found something lacking. Communication was great with the hosts. They were very responsive and helpful. They have amazing insight into the local area, and, aside from the wonderful information provided inside the cottage in a binder, they were always available to answer questions. Accessing the cottage was easy and convenient, especially considering how early and late I would be coming and going. Checking in and out was also really simple and smooth. As for location, another great feature of the cottage. There were so many great places to eat only blocks away, plus a 7-Eleven. Walkability beyond the local neighborhood was so great. I walked to and from the convention center each day I was there, granting easy access to SJSU and downtown. I will definitely stay here again for future trips to San Jose.
