My stay at Cando Living Apartments was mostly enjoyable. The apartment was spacious and clean, and I appreciated the beautiful garden that offered a calming escape from the city vibe. However, I did notice some noise from the rain on the roof during my stay, which might be a drawback for light sleepers. Overall, I would rate my experience a solid 8 out of 10. 🌿😊

I had a fantastic stay at Cando Living Apartments in San Jose. The location is perfect, right across from the Jade Museum and surrounded by great restaurants. The only downside was that the bins weren’t emptied during my four-night stay, and it would have been nice to have some extra toilet roll. Overall, it really felt like a home away from home.
