The walls are thin, and the air conditioning has an automatic on/off mode plus there's a train some nights (though, not every night), all of which would make ear plugs for light sleepers a requirement. Despite that, Steve and Lee were quick responders and very friendly, their place was very clean and reminded us of a hotel room (it has a bedroom and bathroom, but no access to kitchen/fridge/any communal area). Dont forget to put yourself in 'privacy' mode in the auto lock when you tuck in for the night. It is walking distance to most of downtown San Jose, so is very well situated (well, walking distance for us, who tend to not mind walking 30-40 min to get somewhere, though most useful places were within a 10-20 min walk). All in all, a pleasant place to stay.
