I stayed in the apartment for 2.5 months. Jerry is an amazing communicator and very kind; he helped me with every issue promptly and with grace. The following is my honest feedback to help other travelers make their stay at Jerry's place the best it can be:
RE: cleanliness. When I arrived, it smelled very 'lived in' and there were some dirty rugs, dust on many appliances and on ridge of the shower, other people's hair in certain places. This was unacceptable to me, but based on my communication with Jerry, he helped me remedy it after my efforts to clean thoroughly. Honestly, I feel this issue won't happen again and it sounds like this was an irregular occurence.
RE: noise. You're right on the cusp of Mission Hills, but next to the entrance of the 5 and Washington St. It makes the location convenient to get places, but can be surprisingly noisy. There is a train that lays on the horn often, you can hear traffic *loudly* from Washington St, people outside, bass from neighboring apartment music, people picking through trash/recycling, etc. This is an urban apartment, but it definitely won't keep you awake; may be burdensome at times when trying to have a quiet night.
RE: Kitchen amenities. As of now, there isn't anything that can go in the oven; no bakeware and there was no tin foil or other essentials to help with this issue. There was limited toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags -- I had to buy all pretty immediately. I'm sure that Jerry will remedy this item for future.
