The hosts were excellent and spoke good English. I had to book last minute and late at night, but they were able to accommodate me, show me the parking, and made good breakfast + coffee the morning after my stay.

I was very surprised! It's a large, neat colonial house (bungalow style). All rooms are private with bathroom and arranged around a very lush courtyard. It's spacious and well-kept, fully a equipped kitchen and a Peri grocery store at the corner. Lots of couches and books to read. The host doesn't live on site but is super friendly and responsive. There's a bus stop at the corner with plenty of busses bringing you to the center. Overall, it's the comfort of a hotel with the convenience of a hostel.

The hostel, in a former office building, was still being remodeled and prepared. But it was starting to look really nice already and the mattress was super comfortable. I slept like a rose.

Very impressed by the design and layout of this property. Everything was very clean, breezy and well organized. There is no AC but there are oscillating fans in rooms and that was more than sufficient. The room I stayed in was a double bed, cozy space with a drawer for all your stuff, a coffee machine and a safe lock on the doors so it felt safe and worry free. WIFI was working great and was fast. Common kitchen area, the lobby and common sitting area were nicely set up, equipped and decorated. Location is in the center. Near to all the popular streets and boulevards with many restaurants, street food vendors, open markets, super markets, bars, clubs etc. It can get a bit noisy at night but San Jose is a lively city and this should be expected when booking accommodation downtown. They had a bad review from someone complaining about the noise but I have to disagree because if you're tired you'll sleep through anything and if you want complete silence then book something in suburban area.
