Pros- good value, very clean, new construction and the host is physically accessible every day from I believe 9 am to 6 pm. The location is run more like a hotel than someone’s home.
Cons- walking to gaslamp or Little Italy was a little intimidating after a certain time. The location is just outside the main areas and if you are a female, alone or with a small child, it might not be as safe as staying in a large hotel in downtown. It’s also right across the street from the back side of Balboa park. However, if you are young and with a bunch of friends, I think it’s fine.
The walls of the building are very thin. There was a dog barking almost the entire night, the first night. Then his owners came home at 2am and I could hear almost every step and voices until 4 am. I did reach out to Fir, and the next day, the barking and noise was significantly reduced.
Overall, it’s a great deal and very clean. But, I wouldn’t recommend for a family with small children. Enjoyed it nonetheless.
