I’m Chris, engineer by trade, and host. I love making travel easy: spotless spaces, smart touches, and hyper-local tips for food, coffee, and hikes. I respond fast, respect your privacy, and design each stay with an engineer’s eye for safety and comfort. Whether you’re here for work at the tech campuses or a weekend in the South Bay, I’ll make sure it’s smooth and stress-free.

Downtown offers plenty to do – from a world-class convention center and several museums to theaters and cultural landmarks – truly something for everyone. Foodies and night owls will love the options: San Pedro Square Market is buzzing day and night with live music and diverse eateries, and the streets are lined with trendy bars, food trucks, and authentic taquerias (don’t miss the late-night burritos with the famous orange sauce at La Victoria Taqueria!). Major downtown highlights are all within easy reach: you’re just minutes from the SAP Center (home of the NHL Sharks and big concerts), the lively San Pedro Square dining district, the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, and even the historic SJSU campus itself – complete with its iconic Olympic Black Power Statue to discover. Getting around is a breeze with good public transit nearby (VTA light rail stops and the Diridon Caltrain station), plus quick access to I-280, Hwy 87, and Hwy 101 for any road trips[8].
