1) I knew there would be noise from light rail, but it was worse than I expected...VERY frequent. 2) Views from the rooftop patio are blocked by taller buildings on the east, south, and west sides. 3) The surrounding neighborhood is currently not pedestrian-friendly; most sidewalks toward Gaslamp are blocked by construction, and the sidewalks that are accessible are littered with homeless. 4) Inside, the unit is small but very clean, and the building is secure. Overall it's a decent value (price & proximity), and Matt was a great host.
