There was great communication from host and the room was clean and comfortable. We had two downsides from our experience. First, it is more like a hotel room since the kitchen and outside areas are communal. From the pictures, it looked like it was going to be more like an apartment. And second, the noise outside is very loud. You truly are right in the heart of Gaslamp which is great for walking, but leaves you sleep deprived. There are drunk people shouting, partying, fighting until early morning hours. Definitely bring earplugs or put on earphones to listen to music to fall asleep to.
