Ilbert was an extremely communicative host. He contacted me before I arrived and clearly explained how I could get into the apartment. He also told me he was close by in case I ran into any problems, which was very assuring. (even though I didn't have any problems)

I enjoyed my stay in the Gaslamp District. The area felt very safe to me and it was in walking distance to numerous restaurants and the Conference Center, where I was attending an annual meeting. I love the option of having a bigger space with a kitchen when I attend meetings. There are a few homeless people around the GasLamp District restaurants-which is normal in CA-but they are not aggressive in any way and leave you alone.

The bed was very comfortable and clean and so were the bathroom towels. Water is nice and hot for shower. I slept with the window open, which was safe since it is on the second floor. You could hear some noise on Friday/Saturday from nearby bars, but that did not bother me since I live in a noisy city. You could always close the window.

TV options are really good-streaming HULU, Netflix and others. Internet worked well.

Overall the description and pictures are accurate.
