As soon as we walked in we were in love with the historic building and architecture. The windows are so beautiful with gorgeous stained glass at the top. The wood floors are creaky but are so authentic and lend to the historic aesthetic as well. We had everything we needed and the parking pass came in extremely handy. We walked to restaurants and bars and Mayra and Ben allowed us to bring our two small dogs for a small fee which really made out trip amazing! **To be very clear: this is in THE HEART of the Gaslamp district, so it is LOUD on the weekends. I'm talking you can hear every lyric to every song being played at multiple bars on the street even with the windows closed until about 2am on Friday and Saturday. But we were aware of the location and we are night owls and if you close the door to the bedroom and have a noise app on your phone it's totally fine to block out the noise from the street. But if you are a person who can't handle crowds or noise, this won't be the place for you. It's extremely congested on the weekends with hundreds of rowdy drunk people walking around but we had an excellent time people watching from the windows haha** We LOVED our stay here and it was such a unique experience staying in the gaslamp area. I'd love to come back once a year just for the people watching alone lol Mayra and Ben were excellent hosts with fantastic communication and we felt safe in the apartment and were fine walking to 711 late at night etc even with homeless folks talking to us. They were mostly friendly and kept to themselves and it's all just part of the area. I highly recommend this place!
