Expansive views from inside as well as from terraces on three 
levels. The living room has a cushy L-shaped sofa framing the 
fireplace and the view out the French doors – a perfect place for 
conversation, reading, listening to music or watching the good size 
TV kept tucked away inside an armoire. 
The large and well-appointed kitchen with black cantera stone 
counters and dark wood cabinetry is open to the living-dining area 
so the cook can keep up with the conversation. Through a glass door 
off the kitchen, there is an intimate courtyard with a tiled 
fountain, perfect for morning coffee.
Upstairs the luxury-sized master suite has a private balcony through 
two sets of French doors, walk-through designer closet with built-in 
drawers to the master bath with travertine tumbled marble walls, 
double sinks, soaking tub and separate shower. Wake up to the view 
of the mountains from bed, or step outside to the balcony to see 
city views and to see occasional late evening fireworks at El Jardin!
The second bedroom is smaller but full of charm and has views of the 
hills, with a bathroom (travertine tumbled marble)next door. 
The central area on the second level has a desk, ergonomic chair and 
wireless high speed internet hookup.
The tile roof terrace has panoramic views of SMA & countryside. 
Great for sunbathing or star-gazing on the chaise lounges.
The huge basement with 20' high ceilings is all white with handsome 
columns and has both natural and artificial light, making it a 
phenomenal artist's studio, or whatever!
The house is located on a quiet street with no thru traffic in 
the peaceful friendly neighborhood of Obraje, right next to El 
Centro. Just 5 minute walk to the exciting Fabrica La Aurora 
galleries, artist studios, restaurants, antique & designer shops. A 
15-20 minute mostly-level charming stroll to El Jardin, passing 
through a gorgeous old hacienda, by the daily farmers' market, the 
artisans' market and through two other beautiful plazas.

Here's what a June 2007 guest wrote us: 
“Ray and I had an absolutely fabulous time. In our 20 years 
together, I think this was our best vacation ever. Being in your 
beautiful, luxurious home was such a delight, and being in San 
Miguel was like walking into an open heart. I’ve never experienced 
such concentrated warmth and graciousness in one place! We made 7 
friends in 7 days! Even our foreign correspondent friends, who have 
been all over Mexico, said that they’d not encountered another place 
like San Miguel in all of Mexico. They, too, were charmed.
[Property manager] Javier was lovely, and so responsive to us.”
