This place is all about the balcony and its view but little else.
The top floor balcony and its view are fabulous but there are a number of issues about this property. Firstly the only access to the balcony is through the master bedroom. We were on our own so it didn't matter but if you are with friends it would be a problem. They would have to go through your bedroom to get to the balcony which is the only place you will want to be. You could use the downstairs two bedrooms but they are small and dark with one without a window. We had a number of issues with the equipment including a non working oven which was a big problem to us. We were unable to contact the owner all week. The proximity of the balcony to others is very close and if you are unlucky, as we were with a wedding party staying next door, it will not be quiet. There is also a major construction project going on behind the property which is very noisy between 8am and 6pm every weekday. Check its finished before you book. There is effectively only one bathroom as the upstairs toilet has no hot water to the sink. The main sitting area and kitchen are downstairs and are again very dark and enclosed. And remember no wifi and no 4g. If non of the above bothers you then you will love the balcony and San Jose is a beautiful place.
