I stayed at this apartment for a week and it was great. The apartment was prestine, cozy and exactly as described. Matt and Patricia were extremely communicative and friendly and even sent a note to check in after my first night. It was somewhat noisy with the tram running right out front but this wasn't a surprise - the apartment description was upfront about this and even provided earplugs! You are walking distance to plenty of new spots in the East Village, Gaslamp and Petco Park. Like Matt shares there are some homeless around but I didn't see any directly by the apartment. If you are used to cities this won't phase you too much but if you are not maybe this isn't the place for you. Overall it was a great stay and experience! Would recommend!
