First let me say that The hosts are absolutely great. Responsiveness was far greater than I had experienced with any other rental I've ever done. It's the second time that I stayed here, and this time it was for 8 nights. It just so happened to be during one of the hottest times ever. Temperatures were hot and Ladan even reached out to tell me she bought a fan in anticipation of the weather, and she wanted us to be comfortable. Any time I had a question the communication was easy, super friendly, and greatly responsive. I would not hesitate to stay again. When I come to San Jose I think it would be difficult to stay elsewhere after having an even better experience this time.
For all the potential renters out there, there are a lot of things that make a place a great fit. Space, amenities that you need, these are certainly the basics everyone starts with in their search.... but... seldom does someone have an opportunity to get a feel for what the owners are like and just how much you'll feel at ease. I've stayed at places that feel like you can't touch anything, but here you really feel that it's a place you can make yours during your stay. I attribute this to the hosts and their genuine desire to have their guests feel at home. Thanks again Ladan. You guys were great.
