Pros: The place itself is cute and roomy. It was clean. Pics are accurate. Shower pressure is great, AC works, and check in was easy. Parking is convenient, the house is walking distance to a small market, and a quick drive to the beach and Gaslamp.
Cons: The neighborhood isn’t great. I drove back from the beach and came up a block over and ended up in what looked like the red light district, there were a ton of cops and a couple ladies of the night in that area. The house across the street played loud cumbia music the entire night…seriously, no breaks and the walls are thin.
The cleaning fee is high and yet you’ll get charged if you don’t clean and put away dishes. I didn’t use any, but what does this cover?
Unfortunately for what you get, this place is definitely steeper than it should be. I’ve paid much less for more resources and freedom at other places. I would suggest making it a little more welcoming to guests-the strict rules could be softened by a little courtesy-a couple bottles of water and some tea/coffee options would’ve been a nice touch, and speaking to the neighbors about what seems to be an ongoing noise issue, when there are restrictions about the noise in the apartment. I would stay here again if the price was lower and a few things were changed.
