Neighborhood

Nestled near San Jose State University, this neighborhood is a vibrant, super-walkable part of Downtown San José where you can explore countless attractions on foot. Downtown offers plenty to do – from a world-class convention center and several museums to theaters and cultural landmarks – truly something for everyone. Foodies and night owls will love the options: San Pedro Square Market is buzzing day and night with live music and diverse eateries, and the streets are lined with trendy bars, food trucks, and authentic taquerias (don’t miss the late-night burritos with the famous orange sauce at La Victoria Taqueria!). Major downtown highlights are all within easy reach: you’re just minutes from the SAP Center (home of the NHL Sharks and big concerts), the lively San Pedro Square dining district, the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, and even the historic SJSU campus itself – complete with its iconic Olympic Black Power Statue to discover. Getting around is a breeze with good public transit nearby (VTA light rail stops and the Diridon Caltrain station), plus quick access to I-280, Hwy 87, and Hwy 101 for any road trips[8]. First-time visitors will feel welcome in this fun, friendly neighborhood; the best of San Jose’s downtown scene is right at your doorstep.

Guest Access

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 Airbnb app if any changes arise.

Other Details 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.

Downtown is easy to navigate on foot walk to SJSU, San Pedro Square, SoFA, and the Convention Center. For longer trips, nearby VTA Light Rail and bus stops connect across the city, and Diridon Station offers Caltrain/Amtrak/ACE service up the peninsula. Rideshares arrive fast, and scooters/bikeshare are often available. If you’re driving, the driveway fits 2 cars, with a public accessible/handicap space directly in front (first-come, first-served). You’ll have quick freeway access to I-280, Hwy 87, and Hwy 101, and SJC is a short drive away.
