The 280 entrance is a couple blocks up. We are a very short uber ride from the airport as well which is convenient after a long flight.<br /><br />You are welcome to use the washer and dryer on the back porch, but please ask availability, and we ask a $4 donation each per load for soap and pg&e.<br /><br />I usually have soup, pasta, etc. , so help yourself. <br /><br />Welcome to becoming part of our AirBnB family during your stay!<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />You may access dining room, the kitchen (for keurig), refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and bathroom (but these are shared areas so keep them clean please.) Do not access the other bedrooms of course. The laundry washing machine and dryer are on the back porch if you need it for stays 3 days or more and it is $4 per load per machine. You can also sit out on the porch.<br /><br />I have 2 other units on the property. The studio is an Airbnb rental and you have no access of course, and the basement apartment (separate entrance, is for my son Nick (works at tech company) or myself only as I do not rent this space out.<br /><br /><b>During your stay</b><br />I am available by phone most the time. I am in and out of the home and sometimes travel, but if I am in town, you will most likely see me during extended stays. <br />I enjoy meeting my guests!<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />Early checkin or late checkout is $25/hour, and must be pre-approved in app in writing. <br /><br />Parking is in the back of the house rather than the front, and limited availability so it must be approved and you need to tell me the make, color, and model of your car. It is an old-fashioned layout so from the front yard you enter through an iron gate. The gate has a typical lever you lift on the left side inside the door to open it. That doesn’t have a lock on it. Just close the gate after entering and always keep this closed please, as it is private property.<br /><br />If you are parking your car at our place ($5/day or $10/weekend or full week based on availability)., enter the chapel parking lot from Reed St. (across from Notre Dame High School) and proceed straight to the connecting alley. Our driveway is the first on the right. <br /><br />Note: free parking under the freeway overpass in the front of the house on 2nd St. across the street. It is free during the weekend and weeknights and $5/day m-f which is really inexpensive for downtown San Jose.<br /><br />Parking is free in front of our house (BEST SPOT by sidewalk if available) but do not park there Tuesday night because of street sweepers or you will get a ticket. There are signs accordingly.<br /><br />Urban area- walking distance to convention center. Near 280 overpass. <br /><br />Quiet time is 10:00pm during the week, to respect others and their work schedule.<br /><br />There is downtown city noise - 280 overpass, jets entering San Jose Airport, Sirens occasionally, etc. we have ear plugs if you like (there are some in the drawer or in the candy bowl by the front door.) or you can book elsewhere if you can’t handle noise please.<br /><br />The bathroom is shared. We are down to earth and deal with it, but if you want your own bathroom this is not the place for you. <br /><br />We have a motion camera facing the front yard gate and back of the house driveway for safety reasons. These are not monitored. It deletes automatically in time. This is just a safety precaution.<br /><br />Other than that, welcome!
