The apartment is on the top floor of a downtown building, with a rooftop pool, gym, porter, and an underground garage. Location is about 10-15min walk to the Gaslamp suburb, and similar walk to Balboa museums or Little Italy. We used car a lot and it only takes few minutes to get to the freeway.
The apartment was freshly decorated in neutral colours and modern style. It’s about 100m2, with 2br, one en-suite, one bathroom and cosy kitchen/living area and generous balcony. Everything was clean.
Although the building rules said that pool and gym are only for the residents and guests, where guest must be accompanied with a resident, the building is full of young professionals who rent, and nobody said anything when we went to gym or pool. Pool is about 10m long, pleasant water temperature and clean, and upper roof level has fire pits areas with tv and table tennis area, all with a city view that looks great at night.
Air conditioning was easy to control. We found the aircon unit in the second bedroom too noisy to sleep with and had to switch it off at night, but it didn’t get too hot during the night, so it didn’t matter.
There is a washing machine, dryer, oven, fridge and microwave.
Apartment is quiet at night, with a soothing gentle city hum that lulls you to sleep.
Host Ara was incredibly quick to answer to any questions, helpful, polite manners and friendly.
