The studio truly was a pleasant surprise. As a visitor to San Jose, I really didn't have a context for where a "good" area to stay would be, so I simply chose a place close to the Convention center. What I learned once getting there? It is an amazing location, surrounded by some of the top rated restaurants and bars in all San Jose. A mere 10-minute walk from the convention center and the SAP Center (where the Sharks play) made this a perfect combination of work and pleasure.
The building itself is a dated building, but Arch's place is contemporary and updated. It was in spectacular condition and immaculate. As with many such buildings, the front door doesn't keep noise out particularly well, but generally speaking the halls are quiet, so I was more concerned about making sure I didn't crank the TV and bother anyone else. The wifi was fast, the shower pressure strong, the water temperature hot, and they provided all the necessary travel amenities. Really what more could you ask for? The studio truly is an efficiency and perfectly suited for a business traveler like myself.
Finally, Arch and Ike were incredibly responsive, prompt and professional with all interactions. They answered all questions and let me know the unit was available early since I arrived before normal check-in time. I truly enjoyed my stay, and absolutely plan on trying to stay here again as my first choice for my next trip!
