Great Hideaway in a Big City

We loved our stay at the casita in San Jose, we couldn't have asked for better accommodations. The casita had everything we could need, for a couple, and the outside had lush, green plants and trees with chairs set underneath for a cozy outside living setting. We took the light rail, only a few blocks away, to Levi Stadium, which was perfect for avoiding parking and traffic. We would stay here again if need be. Thank you!

Serene little spot, close to downtown San Jose

My in-laws were visiting for a week, and this was the perfect little spot for them to rest their heads. It's more spacious than it initially appears. It was meticulously cleaned and very nicely laid out with a combo bedroom/living area, and a nice, updated bathroom. The garden seating area outside was gorgeous and chill. It was located close to downtown San Jose and Japantown.

Clean, cute, comfortable and convenient!

This casita was perfect for my needs. The room and the grounds were spotlessly clean. I loved the Nepresso machine and really cute mini fridge. The bed was very comfortable and the natural products in the shower were very much appreciated. The garden was also very beautiful. This was within walking distance to many restaurants. The host was very sweet to suggest restaurants to me and let me check in early, which was very helpful.
