This property is convenient to events in San Jose and shops in Willow Glen. Many restaurants to choose from. The property is nicely decorated inside and out. A comfortable place to stay and quiet sleeping. No parking problems. Nice neighborhood to walk around and close to farmers market. Would return to this property.

It was a pleasure hosting Sandra and her husband. They were polite, quiet and great communicators. The Hummingbird Hideaway was left tidy and we look forward to their next visit.

Fantastic stay!

Wendy is a wonderful host who was nice enough to allow myself and my 12 year old son spend a couple nights in the hummingbird hideaway while we visited San Jose. The neighborhood is beautiful and within walking distance of willow glen’s downtown shopping area. Overall had a really nice stay, thank you again for everything, Wendy!

We had a wonderful experience with Jenny and her son. I couldn't have asked for a kinder, more respectful group. From the moment they booked, communication was clear and prompt. They treated my home with the utmost care, leaving everything in perfect condition, which I truly appreciated. Jenny and her family were not only fantastic guests but they also brought a warm and friendly energy that made the hosting experience enjoyable. They followed all house rules, were respectful of the neighbors, and took the time to express their gratitude during their stay, which means a lot to me as a host. I highly recommend Jenny to any future hosts. I would be more than happy to welcome them back anytime. Thank you for being such great guests!

I enjoy dreaming of interesting places to visit.

Growing up in Willow Glen, and visits to Italy grounded me in my Italian roots, and passion for all things design.

Hanging out in the garden, and exploring with my college-aged kids, bring me a lot of joy.

Established older neighborhood with new and historic homes. Walkable community with old growth trees. Walking distance of a cute quaint Willow Glen downtown, with restaurants, cafes and shopping. Driving distance to many activities.
