Tucked away behind a gated home, this private 1-bedroom cottage is a cozy and comfortable space that feels more like a retreat. It has its own entrance, parking spot, and small patio, giving you your own corner of calm in a quiet neighborhood. Inside, the living room is simple but inviting, with a couch that folds out into a bed and a TV ready for movie nights or relaxing after work. The bedroom has a queen-sized bed plus a futon for extra seating or sleep space, and plenty of natural light gives the room a relaxed, airy feel. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and modern fixtures, clean and easy to use. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook at home, including an island that doubles as a dining spot or workspace if you're remote working. Whether you're here short-term or for a longer stay, you've got enough space to cook, rest, and settle in. Out back, the small patio is perfect for a morning coffee or winding down in the evening. It's a low-key, private setup that offers a little peace and quiet, but still keeps you close to everything San Jose has going on.

The space

The Alum Rock Foothills neighborhood sits along the scenic East San Jose hills, where you'll find quiet streets, tree-lined views, and a strong sense of community. Locals enjoy easy access to outdoor spots like Alum Rock Park and Penitencia Creek Trail, plus local markets and family-run restaurants. It's a great balance of nature and convenience, just a short drive from downtown San Jose. This area is known for its relaxed, residential vibe and neighborhood pride.
