Chic Bohemian Loft

GaryRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We really enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect mix of city amenities and cozy accommodation. The staff at reception were very welcoming, the unit was well equipped and the restaurants nearby were convenient with a good variety. There is a full market just a couple blocks away, so we were very easily able to purchase groceries so we could eat in the unit as well. We cooked most mornings. The bed was also comfy with lots of pillows! The hosts were very quick to address any questions we had and were gracious. The location is a bit of a drive to the airport with traffic, but Uber was only a $25-$30 charge. We were feeling adventurous one day and actually walked our way into San Jose city center, so it’s a quick hop into the city by car or bus. It can be a little loud sometimes at night with the motorcycles and city traffic but it usually quieted down by 10pm. If we ever find ourselves back in the area we would definitely stay there again.
