Matt, thanks for staying with us. would love to have you back.
We absolutely loved this home. The location was perfect. There was really no need for a car because you can walk to anything you need there. The host was spectacular. We would love to stay there again.
We loved our time here. The home was spacious with wonderful outdoor areas. Beautifully decorated. In a quiet neighborhood but walking distance to shops and restaurants.
Ideal home to host our family Thanksgiving. We will definitely be back.
Beautiful historic home is located behind the Basilica in SJC with easy walking to great restaurants and entertainment. Our host was excellent, easy to work with and even decorated the home for the holiday in advance of our arrival. Plenty of room for our family of seven. We held a baby shower for our daughter one afternoon and all 20 guests loved the home. Highly recommended.
This was a WONDERFUL property that exceeded our expectations. It’s a gorgeous home, with plenty of space for a large group. My elderly parents and young son were equally comfortable- it was hard to get them to leave to go anywhere else! We were in the area for a wedding at Ole Hansen Beach Club and were close enough to get there easily for rehearsal, set up, and the main event. Can’t recommend this very special property more highly!
We used this lovely home for our family to stay while attending my sons wedding.
The gathering courtyards make for hours of cool breezes and catching up over margarita’s! We fell in love with the style and location of this home!
Everything was amazing! Great location! Great parking! Worked out perfect for all are family that came for my daughters wedding. Loved all the history of the house and town. Outside was beautiful, just like the pictures. Would definitely stay again. Check in and check out was very easy.

So happy you enjoyed your stay! We'd love to have you back ANYTIME!

Excellent location and a beautiful, welcoming home with great space to accommodate our family of 5 adult couples. The home had more than enough space for us to be separate or to gather together. The patio is perfect!
In addition, the amenities were ample - we had everything that we could have hoped for.
Highly recommend this for a group gathering space - you will love it!!!!
