My sisters and niece and I had a great stay!! Very cute and accurate to the listing!

While this place was historic, which was interesting, it was not a great place to stay for multiple nights. We did get a parking ticket on the street because the different sides of the street do street sweeping on different days-not just Thursdays as the listing stated. Also, there was not hot water for the shower. We were told that if we turned the sink hot water on, it would make the shower hot. This did not actually work though. And was a waste of water. The keurig spit out brown water and the hot water kettle did not work. There are only two real beds on the top floor-one fabulous king, and one small twin. The other “bed” was the couch and it was not comfortable at all. The house was cute, and we did get discounted tickets to Winchester mystery house (not free though, as their Instagram implied). Walking to campus was doable, but we had to walk by a number of homeless people to do that. Again, if we’d only stayed one night, we would have been fine with the other things, but three nights was to much for us.

No solutions to issues. Contact using emails not responded to.

The communication was a sub-par; I asked multiple times for the entry code details. Unfortunately, an item was left and I informed both contacts but I haven't heard from them. Too many steps - need to be candid about that.

Have a great experience. Would love to stay more. Will recommend this VBRO. Thank you for the stay and experience. Thank you Mnady. We will come back to stay in the future.

This was a interesting experience given the nature of the old home , the eclectic mix of decor and hostel style stay. The surrounding area was charming and close to dining and freeways. It was also very quiet noise levels were almost non existent. We enjoyed the large layout of the upper floor, double flat screen televisions and art work. The kids enjoyed the large stuffy dog that was provided to cuddle with. Overall the space was clean but lacking in high traffic areas, like stains on the rugs and chairs , chipping and peeling sofa bed and not to mention our sheets had not been changed out on the master bed. Luckily we had all of our own bedding from camping , we had to pull out our sleeping bags and pillows. The fold out sofa had no extra sheets provided but 2 large blankets and one pillow. This was not ideal for a family of 5 staying . This space was lacking in some guest amenities such as soap and shampoo ( oddly 3 conditioners?) extra towels for more than 2 guests, dish towels, frying pan and extra silver ware. The shower was freezing and we had to mess with the settings to get lukewarm water. We appreciated the large TV but Netflix would not work. I would not recommend this space for those traveling with young children, there are many breakables , noise ordnance, and a open window with no screen. Luckily our children are older but I had to remind them to not touch many things. There is a provided parking behind a very large gate, we managed to figure out how to use the back door to the kitchen to load and unload out things. The back garden needs some work to be able to enjoy. This space might work better for a couple passing through . Don’t expect all the bells and whistles like the photos display. Communication with the host was fine and she responded to my questions promptly.

Charming, historic home, in a great location central to all the wonderful sites / attractions San Jose has to offer. Given the age of the home, presence of other guests, and numerous posted prompts to keep even the slightest noise down, we walked on eggshells. Not ideal for young children but we enjoyed our stay overall and appreciated the opportunity to share about the history of the home with our children. Would be a nice, adult-only, getaway. Host was quite helpful and couteous.

The place is beautiful. Lots of comfy private spaces and common spaces for all to enjoy. Communication was easy. The host was kind. The house is huge and may need a professional cleaning crew perhaps bi-weekly for a better clean throughout. Overall, great stay. I would recommend this place to others.

The decor in Apt was awesome. We plan to stay again during next trip to San Jose

This was the worst experience I’ve had yet. Drove 9 hours to get to the house and not have any info on how to get into the property. When I spoke to someone on the phone finally they informed me they over booked and I was no longer able to stay there. I had to find ANOTHER property last minute and got extremely lucky I did. My friend & I are 20 & 22, in a town we’ve never been to, 9 hours from home. That was a very scary, stressful, and expensive thing to have to deal with considering we’re young girls who don’t know the area. We weren’t even made aware until check in time that we could no longer stay there because they over booked. The man I spoke to on the phone was polite, but unprofessional. I still have yet to receive a full refund which I believe I should get since it was THEIR fault for over booking. I won’t ever be booking through here again if I’m being honest.
