This was one of the coolest places we’ve ever rented. The house was spacious and simply beautiful. They’ve clearly put so much love into this home. Also, the owner was incredibly communicative and even suggested places to eat and fun activities nearby.

Thank you Beth for being so kind! It was a pleasure to have you in our home!
This unit is in the heart of a busy city, secure parking was fantastic - we had a pretty big van that fit just fine in the private garage. Laundry facilities came in handy and worked well. The condo is super cool and cute. It was a very comfy space.
This lodging is La Sabana is very wonderful. We particularly loved the sun room/covered porch on the second floor. The bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen was relatively spacious. The lodging is close to a large park and not far from downtown San Jose. We appreciated that the lodging included a covered garage for 1 car. The host is very attentive and responsive.
