This studio is located in a residential area in the north of downtown that is walking distance from Little Italy and the Gaslamp district. Although it is located close to the highway, we could hardly hear any noise at night. The studio itself feels quite spacious for two people, and is well equipped with both bathroom and kitchen essentials. The colorful decor in the bedroom creates a fun and relaxing ambience, and the king-sized bed is very comfortable. Our stay would have been superb had it not been for a few things not working when we first arrived. One of the windows in the kitchen that faces the street would not latch and therefore did not stay shut, providing easy access to our apartment, and the light in the kitchen would not turn on. However, we emailed Gary that night and he was very responsive–he came in the next morning and fixed both the window and the light. Other than that, our stay was great and I would highly recommend this studio!
