Family trip

Tina was a great host. It fit our family of 6 with a toddler comfortably. There were tons of towels and storage space for clothes and other items. We loved the complimentary house slippers. The backyard was nice to sit out at the table to enjoy meals or quiet time. We had everything we needed and it was centrally located. Our only complaints were that the knives were dull and the knife sharpener didn't work and the many bugs outside in the covered car port. All that was missing was an insect repelling light or lamp outside. Our daughter was bit several times by mosquitos.

Great property, location, updated well, plenty of soaps, detergents, ect. The only issues were lack of silverware and the pillows we flat and lumpy. If they solved these two issues, it would be a 5 star from our family!

Small but very accommodating

Updated small charmer. The home had what we needed to be comfortable during our stay. The neighborhood was a bit underwhelming but still felt safe and very walkable. Comfy furniture and stocked well with items you need for your stay. Will definitely keep this home on our list for future visits to San Jose.

Cozy getaway for 4

The weather cooperated and made our evenings on the patio memorable. We 3 sisters and a cousin enjoyed being able to walk to the Vegetarian place for lunch. Billy's was a short drive with fun antique shops nearby. Dinners were simple home cooked fare in the kitchen, but we had to run the dishwasher nightly for utensils and dishware. We each had our own bedroom and the walk in shower on the lower level was heavenly.

Easy breezy San Jose stay

This place suited our varied needs very well. We had a little friends dinner on the patio which was extremely pleasant. We had a WFH person who used the upstairs desk nook with great success. The place is located close to downtown and freeways and the airport so San Jose travel is easy breezy and yet the neighborhood was quiet and comfortable. All in all just right!

Cozy home near downtown San Jose

This a great unit that offers 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The unit had all the necessities and the host was easy to communicate with and check-in was very simple. We had a little trouble figuring out which remotes worked for the tv, but through trial and error was able to figure it out pretty quickly.

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed the house. We had 4 adults and 3 kids and there were plenty of beds for everyone to sleep comfortably. If you have kids, be aware that there are no kid friendly dishes and the drinking glasses are really heavy glass. It's not an issue if you aren't traveling with little ones. We loved walking through the quiet neighborhood and admiring the gardens.

San Jose House

We had a lovely time at the property. The property was clean and the property manager was easy to get a hold of. The property is small but that is clearly called out in the listing. We had 7 adults and managed just fine thanks to the sectional in the living room. There was a scarcity of silverware and glasses so we had to wash frequently and the DW was not attached properly so it tilted forward out of the cabinet but we reported that to Tina and I am sure she will have it repaired. Overall a lovely stay and the property was fit for purpose.

San Jose trip

All sponges in unit were dirty- none clean available. Dust caked on coffee table. Only 3 regular sized glasses in unit so we had to buy disposable cups. Only one fry pan that was warped and very old. Only 2 dishwasher table left in unit for 4 day stay. Trash cans were not where check out instructions specified.

San Jose September twenty to twenty third

The original price for this four bedroom apartment was for three nights at a reasonable level. When we indicated the size of our group it significantly jumped. The explanation was unsatisfactory. Believe the information should be available initially for comparison purposes. Additionally the bedrooms were small and had to crawl over partner or end of bed to sleep. Also beds were noisy when just turning over. Pots and pans needed cleaning before use. No teaspoons available and other silverware was minimal. Do not recommend this property.

Perfect spot to anchor!

We were headed to San Jose for a wedding weekend and decided to extend our stay to tour around the area. Tina's home was the perfect spot for us to settle in for the week and then to take day trips north to Muir Woods / Stinson Beach / Sausalito / San Francisco and west to Henry Cowell Redwoods/ Natural Bridges Beach / Santa Cruz! The home is as pictured: completely updated, clean, and tidy. We rented this 4-bdrm "back unit" with the outside patio area, while our friends were able to get the 3-bdrm front unit. The location was close to San Jose State University and our kids enjoyed having access to the city's scooters (which they rode in their suits to the wedding!) Tina provides all of the necessities (soaps, shampoo, TP, paper towels, linens, iron/ironing board, etc) which is very helpful when flying in from across the country. The closets were empty and stocked with hangers for us to unpack. We cooked a few meals in the kitchen and really appreciated the Starbucks coffee that was provided as well. Comfortable, clean and welcoming - a great week!

About the host

Hosted by Tina Han

Host profile image
Lived in NYC for many years and living in the bay area has made me appreciate a number of things on both coasts. Sophisticated urban lifestyle in NYC and natural beauty of the Bay Area are perfectly stunning to me as well! I am lucky! I have had both! I am an easy to talk with, fun to be with, bright, thoughtful, honest, and overall, an optimist. I love to travel and learn new things from different cultures. My favorite things to do are cooking, painting, music, dance and travel.

Why they chose this property

One of the reason I really like downtown San Jose above most houses is that it's over 100 years old but every house there has its unique style and own character.
I'm the designer of this house, transforming this 100+ year old house last year from every corner of the interior and the exterior. I worked on this house for a year. My ideal home is a home with engaging aesthetics. I tried to keep its historical craftsmanship but brought a new idea of creating a contemporary look to this house as well!

Hopefully, all the guests love the home as well!

What makes this property unique

Close distance to everything, shops, restaurants, parks, amusement parks, library, markets and City Hall.
