Vanick was the perfect host; left a key in a lockbox for us to find upon arrival (1:00 AM SF time). There were supplies for a small breakfast in the fridge, which was lovely since we were still exhausted from our cross country flight. He even alerted us to the fire warnings given for Yosemite, which was to be our next stop.
The studio is in an excellent location, just blocks from food and shopping. Vanick had warned us that the house next door was under construction and there might be work going on during the day. The noise was very minimal and didn't present a problem since we were out all day visiting and sightseeing. In fact the neighborhood was very quiet considering how close it was to everything.
We found that the studio apartment proved to be the perfect spot for us to land for our stay. Thank you for your hospitality Vanick and Deborah!
