Sam's apartment was great! First recommendation if it's evening, go sit outside and enjoy the view of Gaslamp! After a long day driving to Cali and getting set-up at a conference, I can't say enough about how convenient and easy he made getting access to his place. And this is apart from it being well-located, walkable (from convention center), and comfortable for my three nights. The room was quite comfortable, and clean, including the bathroom you'll use during your stay. You will be sharing the apartment with Sam, who's cool, welcoming and down-to-earth; find time to squeeze in a chat with him and you'll find out a lot more of the area and also his global experiences!
