Good location, in the middle of Little Italy so plenty of restaurants and interesting buildings. Close to downtown and Gaslamp area.
Lina answered promptly and gave us detailed instructions for the check in. We did not meet her, but she seemed willing to help with any problems.
The bedroom was reasonably clean and was ready for our stay. However, the bathroom could have been cleaner. As it says in her description, there are pets in the place (cats), but the cat litter was in the bathroom and unfortunately the sand from the litter box was all over the floor. The next day the litter had been swept up in the bathroom, but the pile of sand was left next to the broom in the bathroom. Moreover, the towels had cat hair in them, whereas our sheets were free of animal hair.
Another issue that made us uncomfortable was the fact that we were not allowed to lock the front door at any time. There is a keypad downstairs at the entrance to the building, but the front door to the apartment itself was unlocked during our entire stay. We thought that there would maybe be a lock on the bedroom door in that case, but there was not. In the end, nothing was stolen, but we felt uneasy.
Overall, Lina seems to be a friendly host and her two cats were also playful and friendly. However, it would have been nicer, had the bathroom been properly cleaned and had the unlocked door issue been disclosed prior to booking.
