this place is great, close enough to easily walk into the gaslamp but a couple blocks away so it's not noisy. ilbert was an amazing host- i took the train in &he picked me up from the station &walked me into the apt to explain everything &give me local tips! he even held onto my luggage once i checked out &dropped it off to me later, really went above &beyond. i will def be returning here next year (I attend a yearly conference).
