We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. It was very clean and safe and Jo is a very responsive and friendly host. The apartment is above a Hookah Lounge but we ran the fan on the room air conditioner and had no trouble sleeping even on weekend nights. We found the bed to be comfortable, I'd say the mattress is on the firmer side. The views out the windows aren't the best (fire escape and mechanical equipment) but this wasn't a problem for us as we didn't spend much time hanging out at the apartment. The water in the shower was good and hot and the water pressure was good. We used the kitchen to cook breakfast with no issues. There are a LOT of homeless folks in the area but they were not aggressive. We were approached for money twice in 9 days. I'm a petite woman and felt safe getting to and using the bus by myself. My husband worked from the apartment Mon-Thurs and consistently had upload and download speeds of 35 MBPS. The Gaslamp Quarter is a very lively area with multiple live music and dining options (although it's not the cleanest area, similar to New Orleans). We took the Green line to Old Town for $2.50 (per person each way), the bus to the Zoo (same cost as train) and took an Uber to La Jolla for about $25. If you're into baseball the Padres play within walking distance.
