GREAT location. Walk out the door and you've got more than half a dozen restaurant choices just on that one block and infinitely more within maybe 3-5 blocks in any direction. Everyone says this in the reviews but yes, the taco place below the apartment is great. If you're going to the convention center, it's 5-10 mins walk (half that time is just crossing streets & train tracks, it's only a few blocks). Also free parking about a block away - they give you instructions on how to unload your stuff in front of the building and then park, but we had no problem bringing our stuff from the parking garage. It's very close. There is some noise on the weekends because it is a very popular area (Gaslamp), but because this unit faces back toward the courtyard, you can't really hear it except from the bathroom & if someone in the hallway (shared with only 2 other units I think) decides to be loud coming home. We were there for Halloween weekend and I thought it would be more of an issue but it ended up being fine. The apartment itself is good - everything is as depicted in the photos. Main draws are the location and parking. Can't beat those for this price.
