The Casita was just as pictured. It's situated behind a very large house, and has a private, secluded feeling. There is a large garden area between the Casita and the house. It was very quiet--something we missed when we moved to a hotel for our Convention! It was an easy walk to the Convention Center--and it was a $5.50 Uber ride from just about everywhere (and lots of Ubers in San Jose) We liked having a kitchen--and it was well-equipped--although we only made breakfast there--nothing elaborate!
