This property was very clean and appeared to be recently renovated. It had 3 comfortable bedrooms and a great kitchen that was minimally stocked with dishes, pots and pans - enough to cook breakfast and lunch. The big kitchen table was great and having a washing machine was very convenient. The house worked well for our family vacation with young children to be close to family. The two drawbacks were: while in Willow Glen, this was not the best part of the neighborhood, across the street from a liquor store, and right next to the train tracks with Amtrack and CalTrain going by at least once an hour, which was very noisy. However, we did not have any issues and did feel safe. Secondly, there is no living room in this house. While there are two small sofas in the kitchen, there is no space to relax. The house has a big TV but it is impossible to watch unless you are watching from the table - no movie nights or cartoons for the kids. The TV would have been much more useful in one of the bedrooms. The lack of living room space could potentially be remedied by having some outdoor furniture in the backyard, which would have been comfortable and had a beautiful bougainvillea (although the dogs on the other side of the fence did bark and jump against the fence aggressively whenever we went outside). The backyard patio was virtually unusable space with no seating. Otherwise, this was a very nice duplex that was affordable and a great value!
