There weren't any hand towels in bathroom, which I found odd. I was only staying one night, so didn't open fridge or use kitchen, but the dishwasher was all dirty and stained from the outside. Windows don't seem to open, so the morning when the shower was running, it got really warm in there. No way to control temps. I also had to reach out to host to get my access information morning of instead of the details being provided to me. Property looks elegant in photos, but doesn't translate in person. The bed was comfy and clean! The shower had great pressure and a good shower head! We stayed here as it was affordable compared to locations closer to Levi stadium. The grounds were underwhelming, but overall totally fine for one night.

Great location

Things we really liked: The location was convenient and very walkable to Japantown and downtown SJ. We appreciated the keurig coffee in the room, and bottled water tank near the shared kitchen where we could refill our water bottles. The bed was comfortable. Very short wait for hot water in the shower and sinks to start up. The owners were very quick and responsive to messages sent through the app. Beautiful succulents in the back yard. We also appreciated the free street parking. However, it’s an older house so the walls are very thin and we could hear the neighbors, not just in the house, but also outside. It wasn’t the cleanest but ok. In room 1, just fyi, the area above the toilet door, where I assume once had a window, is windowless, so the toilet is not enclosed to contain your personal sounds and smells. The entry was sprayed with a really strong scent, as well as the linens had a strong detergent scent. So if you are sensitive to fragrance, be warned.

Perfect stay for wedding weekend

This little gem was just right for me. All of the wedding events were within 10-15 minutes, because of the central location. The unit was charming, well supplied, and had a wonderful bathtub and shower. I also loved the electric fireplace that could be put on a timer and had the option for heat. It was just a perfect setup for me - I would stay again. The shared kitchen and living space was very nice. Hot water, keurigs, snacks, place to cook food if you want. The historical aspect was especially appealing to me, and there is a booklet with descriptions of the house architecture on the street and the history of the Hensley community from the 1800s. Great stay!

Unexpected Conditions

The room (Room 1) was noisy:The floor squeaks when somebody moves upstairs. Pipes bang when somebody uses the toilet upstairs. Vehicle noise on the street outside is significant. Unusual odor:There's an odor in the bed laundry that is unique and not pleasant. Poorly maintained:The facility is generally run down and condition of walls, doors, etc. are noticeably worn.It appears that the floors were quickly cleaned, as there was debris in the corners, behind chairs, and under the bed.Some of the kitchen utensils were sticky.Guidance lacking:There are no instructions in the room for how things work.  Poor parking:Parking is very difficult because it's only on the street and this is a crowded residential area. We had to park two blocks from the facility.Missing feature:Although the facility had a beautiful dining area and a full kitchen, no coffee or pastries were provided for a light breakfast.If these issues are addressed, this facility would be worthwhile.

Excellent option instead of hotel

This was a surprising, but enjoyable stay. We were looking for an option other than a hotel. The location is easy to find, instructions to enter your room are easy to follow, security is a plus, and the room was a nice, respite from our daily activities. The suite includes the best rainshower and tub combo, a small kitchenette, and a separate toilet with sink area. The armoire allows you to put your traveling items away. The room was vintage pretty and the bed was comfortable.

Pleasant neighborhood and local restaurant in walking distance. Clean linen and nice appeal. Stairs above us and neighbor was loud. No hand towel and poor parking availability. Tub was not cleaned out. Shower was great. Lighting was wonderful.

Lovely house and neighborhood. Comfortable accommodations. A bit of trouble getting in but it was resolved quickly. While it was very clean in the most important areas, more attention to dusting wouldn’t hurt 😊

Beautiful victorian home

What can I say. This property was absolutely beautiful. The images do not do it justice. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Check in was easy. Finding the house was easy! And communication was the best part! The . They always responded within minutes of me asking a question I will be staying here anytime I come to San Jose. <3

Fantastic place in heart of SJ

For Victorian-age connoisseurs such as my wife and I, this was a treat. An interesting blend of old and new, making for a very comfortable stay. We were in Room 1 - highly recommended.

Quaint house

I loved the old victorian style house that hold a lot of history within its walls! The staff were very kind and courteous even after a slight mix up. Very beautiful part of town next door to an iconic Japanese town. Strict hours for the lobby area which is a bit of a drawback but understandable for people who want their sleep.
