The pros:
The place looks as depicted in photos. It is decorated quite beautifully, and clearly professionally cleaned. It is located right in the Gaslamp, and price-wise is good for the location. The sky-lights let a lot of light in during the day. You get what you are paying for, and Juan is very quick to respond to any questions.
The cons: There are *no* actual windows in this space. There is also no ventilation over the stove so if you're cooking you're breathing everything in. There were 2 instances of cockroaches running through the bedroom during our stay which was really gross - this location is obviously in Gaslamp so it's not unexpected due to the location, but we found a roach trap in the corner so clearly they're aware of this issue (and I didn't see any reviews mention it before mine so I wanted to make sure other people knew what they were getting into!)
There is air-conditioning but the main vent goes into the living room, so the bedroom gets really hot at night even with the door left open. If you run hot you will likely not get a good sleep in this space.
The major con: Due to there not being any windows, there's really no safe fire escape. There is a staircase with an additional ladder in the bedroom which seems to bring the space to code, but it is barricaded by a mirror and a fake olive tree. We looked into this buildings' history and it looks like it was zoned as 4 offices before becoming small rental apartments and it *really* shows. This space does not feel like it was designed to be lived in, and in an emergency would be incredibly unsafe.
