Chris and David were excellent hosts. They responded quickly, gave very detailed instructions for check-in, and provided everything we could possibly think of! They even included wine and snacks which is a very thoughtful touch!
The location was very close to nearby neighborhoods like the Gaslamp district, however, it is an up and coming neighborhood. There is a lot of construction going on and if you're a deep sleeper it won't be a problem, but, if you're like me and a light sleeper, the master bedroom did get a lot of construction noise early in the morning, even on the weekend. The guest staying in the other bedroom said they didn't hear anything, so it may just be the side of the street the master is on. It wasn't obnoxiously loud, but I do wake up to everything (even the soft beep of a truck backing up) so it was not an ideal sleeping situation for me personally.
We had a little issue with the hot water, but the hosts responded within the hour and it was fixed. Amazing communication!
The apartment itself is beautiful and sparkly clean. It's a corner unit and there is a lot of natural light. No curtains, but there are vertical blinds. We had some trouble opening the ones in the living room, but could still open them enough to enjoy the view. There is no TV, but that didn't bother us as we didn't spend much time in the apartment. We really appreciated all the soaps, cleaning supplies, even make up remover cloths they provided. There is heat and ac and they also provided fans which we only used for white noise. There is a bit of a draft in the living room, but we weren't uncomfortable with the heat on at night.
This apartment is a beautiful choice with great amenities and I would recommend to those who are not bothered by outside noise!
