Neighborhood

Nestled near San Jose State University, this neighborhood is a vibrant, super-walkable part of Downtown San Jose 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.

Other Details to Note

Pet owners: please walk your pets rather than letting them relieve themselves in the courtyard. Pet urine damages the garden plants and roots, and we want shared areas to stay clean and pleasant for everyone, so please always pick up after your pets. Please note we're in a lively downtown commercial area within walking distance of San Jose State University, so you may hear some street noise from foot and car traffic. The suite has room-darkening shades to help you rest.

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.
