The place was great! good value for the money - in the heart of everything and the Gaslamp Quarter was less than 10 minutes away walking. There is a Starbucks right at the corner, a 7-Eleven around the block, and Petco park is literally down the block.
The space itself is small but very comfortable; anything you could need is there. The host was nice enough to provide shampoo, body wash, coffee, and all utensils needed for cooking.
The only downside is the no parking thing but around this area, it seems to be common so not necessarily the hosts fault. He does provide information for good paid parking spots so that was handy.
Thanks again for a lovely stay.
