Welcome to 1362 Shortridge Unit B — a 1-bedroom, 1-bath rear-attached junior ADU I updated in 2024. Everything you touch is refreshed and feels new. What's old is the neighborhood — a quiet pocket of San Jose's Little Portugal / Five Wounds area that's three minutes from a bus to downtown and twelve minutes from SJC airport.
This is Unit B, the smaller of two homes on the property — a self-contained junior ADU at the rear: a queen bedroom, an updated bathroom with a marble-tile walk-in shower, and an open kitchen-living-dining nook. Best for one to two travelers; sleeps three with a queen + a single rollaway. Private rear entrance with smart lock and Ring doorbell.
What makes this place different is the service, not just the space.
Most short-term rentals hand you a door code and disappear. We treat hosting like a clinic — there's a tier of care that scales with how long you stay:
- Stays of 1-6 nights get the Tier 1 baseline: keyless entry with Ring doorbell, gigabit fiber Wi-Fi (real fiber, not "up to" cable), Level 2 EV charging in the driveway (J1772 adapter, free for all stays, shared first-come), an e-scooter in the backyard, a printed local guide we update quarterly, and same-day text reply from us during waking hours.
- Stays of 7-29 nights unlock Tier 2: reservation help at Pesticos and Adega (based on availability), Yosemite gate-keeping advice (which entrance, which day, which permit window — we've made every mistake so you don't have to), curated hike recommendations matched to your fitness level, in-unit grocery and Amazon delivery handling, mid-stay linen refresh, and produce drops from the garden when things are in season.
- Stays of 30+ nights get the Tier 3 full bundle: weekly cleaning, a dedicated welcome call with Enoch on day one, monthly mail-and-package handling, custom day-trip planning (Big Sur, Napa, Pacifica, Mt. Hamilton — we've test-driven all of them), introductions to our personal trainer, dentist, and barber if you need them, and the kind of low-friction extension flexibility you can only get from owner-operators.
Whether you're here for a quick layover before catching a flight at SJC, a six-week clinical rotation across town, or a couple's weekend that started with "let's just get out of the city" — this little JADU is built to receive you well. We did the figuring out. Ask us anything.
Yes, the larger ground-floor home you may see on the property is a separate listing (Unit A, a 2BR/1BA ground-floor home). Yes, you can book both at once if you're traveling with friends or extended family. Message us and we'll coordinate.
Who stays here:
- Travel nurses, PTs, and rad techs on 13-week assignments at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (VMC) and Kaiser Santa Clara — both 10-15 minutes away
- Summer AI/ML interns at Apple Park, Google, NVIDIA Santa Clara HQ, Adobe + Cisco downtown SJ, and Meta Menlo Park
- Remote-work tech professionals on extended Bay Area assignments
Why Doctor-Hosted matters:
I'm Enoch, the host and an active SCVMC physician. The place is built for clinicians and other professionals who need to land, sleep well, work, and not waste energy figuring out the basics. If you're on assignment at VMC, Kaiser, Stanford, or VA Palo Alto, I've probably seen what kind of week you're having — and the unit is set up for that.
Proximity (drive times in typical traffic):
- Hospitals: VMC 10 min · Kaiser Santa Clara 15 min · Stanford Hospital + VA Palo Alto 40 min
