“In San Jose, this looks like a smart choice if you appreciate the family vibe. I noticed that the location is great, near cafes, restaurants and a supermarket, and there is a well-equipped kitchen, so eating in or out are both easy. For the price, it's hard to argue with a private room and a billiard table.”
