I stayed twice for 3.5 months total in Michael and Lin's unit and it was a treat to be on Santana Row while I was working from home. If you want fresh air and the buzz from all the activity on the street, you simply open your window. When I had work calls or down time in the evening, closing the window significantly reduced the street sounds. It was a very convenient location to walk to the many restaurants and shops available. Really good hiking was only a 20 minute drive away. It was great to have a dedicated parking space. And then there was the added bonus having incredible hosts! Michael and Lin definitely added to the experience!
