This really was the ideal place for my week long stay in San Jose. I felt right at home! I agree with other reviews that it felt safe, and it was surprisingly quiet although close to Santa Clara St. Since the house is on a corner lot, street parking was super easy on either 17th or St John St. The bath tub was a plus, and I appreciated the good water pressure for showers. Even though there is no TV, the internet was great, allowing allowing easy streaming of shows on my laptop. I would definitely stay here again!
