We are visiting San Jose from Los Angeles and this house was very charming, cozy, and clean. The house looks exactly like the pictures posted. The host was great and the back yard was cute and pet friendly.
We loved our stay in the bungalow! It truly had everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable trip with our family of four. The space felt welcoming and well equipped, making it easy to settle in and relax right away. One of our favorite parts was the backyard. It was a great spot to unwind and give us some extra room to spread out and enjoy time together. We also loved how walkable the location was. There were so many dining options just a short distance away, which made meals easy and fun without needing to drive. Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay and we would happily come back again!
