Chris, your Sweet Pea host

Meet your host

I live here, own these homes, and answer myself.

I am Chris, and Sweet Pea is my small collection of San Jose homes, not a management company inventory. I know the parking, the quirks, the best nearby food, and the details that make each stay easier because I care for these places myself. Typically replies within a couple of hours, so questions get a real answer from the person responsible for the home.

“Hospitality feels better when the owner is actually paying attention.”
