This house I'm sure was quite beautiful in its day. It needs some updating and TLC. Overall it was comfortable, The pool is located in the center of the house, off of one of the bedrooms and the dining area. There is an indoor barbeque but the ventilation does not have an extractor.
Nice large table for meals and congregating and a couple nice large comfortable sofas. The pool is under a clear roof and the pool is not heated, although by the middle of the day it is quite comfortable and refreshing. I would like to have air conditioning in the bedrooms at least, but I understand that is not standard in San Jose. The rooms were a bit warm, they did however provide a couple fans and there are ceiling fans in all the rooms.
The master bedroom is in the front of the house, and with the window open for air circulation, the noise level can be bothersome, bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.
They had a very nice housekeeper come in every day to tidy the bathrooms, beds, and clean the floors. She would also cook breakfast and lunch for you if you ask. She speaks Spanish only.
We chose this house because it is close to family, so it was perfect for us.
