SJ Landmark Victoria Historic Building 1bd Unit 5

We were there for a festival in Japan Town, so the location was absolutely perfect as we could easily walk and did not have to worry about finding parking. I had originally booked a different unit for the wrong weekend. It was very easy to cancel and rebook for the correct weekend. Although I wish the first unit was available for the dates I needed, the one we had worked well for us. Only weird thing was that we only had bath towels, no hand towels or washcloths. No biggie. Will definitely consider this staying here if I visit San Joe again.

I didn't see a smoke/co detector. Makes me a little nervous in those older homes. But otherwise was great!

This historic property was cute but could have been maintained better. Just small things... the drawers in my room each had junk in them, instead of being cleared for use by guests. I combined the junk into a smaller # of drawers so I could use them. The grate on the kitchen floor was full of crap. The main refrigerator in the common kitchen had stuff in front of it so you couldn't use it. It seemed like no one had been spending time there putting things aright. My unit was comfortable... we were using the pull out sofa, which left very little room for walking around! But the beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom was nice. The pull out bed was queen sized I believe and as comfortable as a regular bed. There was a window AC and a small radiator for heat.

Host communication was fast, clear and accommodating. The neighborhood is calm and quiet. We felt safe parking on the street. Very close to the airport but not too close where you hear it.The bed was very comfortable and the heating unit worked great. For the money, I would go elsewhere though. The decor is kind of a mish mash of styles, eras and quaility. The paint job was done pretty poorly and the fixtures are just odd. It's a pretty house but I could really use a decorators help. I appreciated the snacks that were out on the table. They really just need to put away or get rid of a lot. There were a lot of water jugs on the floor in the dining room and kitchen.I couldn't find towels anywhere in our room, so I went down to the basement laundry at 7am. I found 1 dry folded towel on a shelf and another damp one in the dryer. The dryer had a pile of damp laundry on it. I messeged the host, and she immediatly got back to me and directed me to another towel that was in a dresser in the kitchen.The kitchen has a sign to wash and dry your dishes but there wasn't a drying rack. It's just odd. I ran into other guests that were checking out, and they had towel issues too, and said it was just odd as well.I wouldn't say don't stay here. I just wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you're in a pinch.
