Incredible apartment - not only is it spacious and beautifully decorated, but the location is prime (right in the heart of Gaslamp) and we were walking distance from a wide range of bars and restaurants. The apartment came with an almost completely equipped kitchen and we were also provided some toiletries, which was a very pleasant surprise. The leasing agents were responsive to our questions and were quick to get us assistance when needed.
The only real issue we had was the outside noise. There is absolutely no insulation on the windows, and there are a LOT of big windows so noise came right in. I encourage getting earplugs for nighttime as noise from local bars (live music, DJ’s, etc) and crowds of people partying comes right into the apartment at most hours of the night. There was also a decent amount of construction nearby.
The 2 parking spots in the garage were super useful - it's hard to find parking in Gaslamp so we loved having the space for our car and a friend's car if they were visiting us. The building felt safe as a fob was required to get anywhere. There are plenty of CVS’s within walking distance for essentials and Trader Joe’s is a short drive away. I highly recommend staying at Billy and Yesenia’s place! We loved San Diego and can’t wait to come back.
