John’s place was in a great location and I highly recommend it if you plan to explore San Diego’s downtown but just know there are a lot of homeless people all over downtown and you will most likely encounter them on the street outside the building.
The place is very old and some things like the iron, ironing board, towel holder weren’t working properly but John was responsive and when the sink got clogged, he immediately took care of it. The building didn’t smell great but it might have been because it was old but the actual studio was fine.
