I lived in Brian's place for three months for the summer internship in San Jose. Firstly, Brian's house is very close to the grocery store, if you don't have a car, definitely chose Brian's place. I had daily commute using route 58, but the VTA will cancel this route next year. You still can walk 20 minutes through Guadalupe Trail to the VTA light rail station. Then I had a very nice housemate and the host. The shared bathroom almost as I own it all the time since the other housemate and me, not on the same working shift. Also, I had the whole kitchen for cooking and the entire living room or dining table to enjoy my food. I can use any appliance makes me felt like home. Finally, I am a person enjoy the quiet, safe and clean place, and Brian's place meets all my requirements, had a high quality of sleep every night. Furthermore, I barely lock my bedroom, even when I spent the whole weekend traveled to San Francisco. That would be better if I can have a LED lamp on the large desk in the bedroom to do some reading and homework, and have an AppleTV to project the video on my Apple devices. Haha, I must be so demanding than others. Overall, thanks for making me an excellent stay.
