Gabriel was very responsive and friendly. Initial entrance is from the back alley to obtain the key from a lockbox and enter from the back of the building. You will need to walk up stairs. Location is on second floor of a storefront and two buildings down from a bar. It gets loud during nights and weekends; you can hear the music from the bar until 2am so plan accordingly. Earplugs are provided by the host. There is a Trader Joe's and Ralph's across the street. Lots of restaurants and area seems safe at night. Had to do a run to Ralph's late night and I felt safe. Interior of apartment is neat and clean.
