I stayed at Aviva’s place for 4 months during an internship and it was the perfect place for me! The amenities were great, I barely had to buy anything of my own. The house is right by a VTA stop which made it much easier to get around. It’s an easy ride to downtown SJ where there’s lots to do.
The thing that stood out to me most was how friendly and responsive the host is! There were a few times I had to reach out, like when I locked myself out of my room, and she responded immediately and helped me out.
I definitely recommend staying with Aviva if you’re in San Jose! I had a wonderful time there.
