Veronica is a wonderful host! She was incredibly welcoming and I felt right at home. True to what I expected after reading other reviews, we had an engaging chat the first night I was there. The room is very cozy and equipped with all the amenities - space heater, tv, and extra blankets and towels. I was traveling on business, so I appreciated the iron and ironing board in the room! The house is very easy to find and is about a 20 minute walk from downtown San Jose. I hope to have the opportunity to stay with Veronica again and I highly recommend her to others. (One word of advice - if you're taking a taxi to/from Veronica's, make sure to be explicit about N/S in the address!)
