This house is in the downtown area of San Jose. Parts of downtown can be rough, as with any city, but this house was in an area that felt safe and was within walking distance to a lot of things. The house itself was accurately depicted in the listing. It was not fancy but had all of the basic things we needed for a great stay. I think it was well worth the money. The cost to stay here is equal to most local hotel rooms, plus you get a full kitchen, outdoor space, and more sleeping areas. We would definitely stay here again.
