I saw that there were few negative reviews before reserving this place. I am glad I did decide to stay here. For the price, it was a great place to stay at. I am happy I was able to do my remote teaching as it provided the basic necessity. It is a small room; if you are claustrophobic, try reserving the other rooms in the house.
Cleanliness: Room was cleaned. I also saw a gentleman that come to clean the room & house whenever a guest checked-out. My blanket had stained on it, so I didn't use it since it wasn't that cold anyway. I am sure if I let the host know, I would've easily get a new one.
Accuracy: Everything in the description matched.
Location: I love the location. The library is across the street and there are parks nearby. It is walking distance to multiple bus stops. I commute daily via VTA and explored San Jose.
Communication: Great and provided all the necessary instruction for check-in and check-out.
Additional notes: The screen in the room is damaged; I had masking tape to patch up the sides.
There were plenty of shelf space in the room to organize my stuff.
Bathroom did have miscellaneous shampoo, gel, and body wash. Not sure if provided by the host or left over from guests.
The fridge was organized to have small space for each guest.
Kitchen was decently cleaned. Be mindful that there are multiple guests in the house. As for cooking, I had to rummage through the draws to find tools. There were pots, skillet, 2 knives, a grater, a tong, and a spatula for cooking. I couldn’t find cutting board. There were plates and a bowl. There were no cutlery. There is room for improvement in the kitchen area.
Overall, I was satisfied to stay at this place.
