Bernadette's home is charmingly quaint and cozy. It is within easy access of both downtown San Jose and the extended South Bay area. The space is clean, quiet and equally appropriate for a couple on a vacation to visit the outdoor wonders of Santa Cruz or Big Basin as for a quiet solo business trip to Silicon Valley. While you certainly have a secure sense of privacy, Bernadette is very accessible and communicative for check in/out as well as for thoughtful suggestions such as visiting the Santa Clara Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings (which we did and highly recommend). We are moving to the area so we will not need a place to stay next time but we will absolutely recommend our friends that come visit to stay with her.
