Very cozy studio in the heart of the Gaslamp quarter. It's clean, bright and well-designed. Located in an old but renovated building right on the Fifth Ave. There is no elevator so you need to take 50+ stairs to the unit which was fine for me. Self check-in was smooth and Jo was very accommodating. He allowed me to check in early and also to put my stuff in a locker after check out. He quickly fixed a noise issue that I experienced in the apartment. Speaking of noise, some noise can be heard from the A/C units on the roof and also from the streets specially at night time during the weekends, but it is not unusually loud as the windows are not facing towards the streets. The location is very central and great specially if you do not have a car. There are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Overall, I totally recommend staying at Jo's place.
