“Casa Kibi Kibi strikes me as a particularly solid choice in San Jose: a colonial-style house with private rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a host known for helpfulness. The location, near both a supermarket and bus lines to the city center, adds real convenience. I especially appreciate the quiet atmosphere and garden-rare finds, and key to a good stay.”
