The location is in the heart of the Gaslamp District surrounded by restaurants and shops -- yet, the particular unit we were in was quiet because it was on the back side of the building. The convention center, the Marriott hotel where my conference was held, and a grocery store were all about a 5-minute easy walk from Casa Mayra.
The keyless entry pads on the exterior door and the unit door made us feel safe. The parking garage (with free parking included) was very convenient (about a block away) and seemed secure. Having parking included in the rate was a huge factor in our decision to stay here.
Buildings in the Gaslamp District are old -- some historic. So, our unit in Casa Mayra had character. Overall, it was clean and comfortable. The host included many helpful amenities the unit. We especially appreciated the refrigerator in the kitchenette for leftovers.
