Downtown Gem: 2BR Historic Spanish Bungalow • Short Walk to SJSU + Parking

Welcome to our cozy 2BR Spanish Revival bungalow, a short walk to SJSU. Relax in the private, quiet patio and large, fenced backyard; it’s easy to forget you’re downtown. Amenities include outdoor seating, washer/dryer, driveway parking, and fast Wi-Fi 6. Super convenient to I-280 (so easy to drive around), Hwy 87/101, Caltrain, SJC, the Convention Center, SAP Center, Levi’s Stadium, and all of downtown. Ideal for work or leisure; message us anytime!

The space
Our comfy 2-bedroom home pairs mid-century modern style with everyday ease; free on-site parking included. Inside you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen, smart TV, blazing-fast mesh Wi-Fi, and a dedicated laundry room. Sleep soundly on a king in the primary and a queen in the guest room; both with soft bamboo pillows; and use the genuine-leather sleeper sofa for extra guests.

Step outside to a large, private, and quiet gated yard with a cozy patio and outdoor seating; it’s easy to forget you’re downtown. Getting around is a breeze: we’re very close to I-280 (and near Hwy 87/101), so driving anywhere is simple.

The home is professionally cleaned before each stay and stocked with fresh linens, toiletries, and essentials so you can settle in and feel at home.

Enjoy self check-in via lockbox. Please confirm your reservation and check-in instructions in advance, and feel free to reach out with any questions—especially if you're checking in late, as we may be asleep.

For your safety, the home is equipped with 24/7 exterior video surveillance. Be sure to list the correct number of guests in your reservation and notify us through the Vrbo app if any changes arise.

Other things to note
For our pet owners, please bring your pets for a walk instead of potty in the garden. The pee will kills the plants’ roots, we also don’t want to have other guests accidentally step into the poop. To be a good neighbor, please pick up after them whenever they go.

We are proud of creating memories for our guests, so you are welcome to host a small get together if you let us know in advanced. Since all of our neighbors have our contact info, please messaged us exactly how many people will be visiting and staying in advanced and respect the quiet hours between 10:00pm to 8:00am.

Additionally, please clean up and take away the trash after to prevent overflowing our trash can. We reserve the right to charge additional cleaning fee or excess trash if we have too much trash too early (Mon is our trash pick up), we need to physically take the trash out to dump and pay additional fees! DO NOT put trash in the recycle bin, they will refuse to pick up our trash!

Please keep in mind, we are located on a busy commercial area within walking distance to San Jose University, so there are potential noises due to lots of foot / car traffic.
