Pros:
-beautifully located on the 9th floor facing south/west, so it’s bright and sunny
-various supermarkets, Bay Area, Gaslamp Quarter etc. in walking distance
-modern apartment complex with pool on rooftop & other amenities
-quiet when windows are closed
-washer and dryer inside the unit
-the cleaning lady Ana (speaking Spanish only) who tried to make up for some of the mess below
Cons:
-bare minimum communication from the host, sometimes even no answer at all
-no vacuum cleaner though I was told there was one
-inside the kitchen was a bit of a mess. No order, stuff like thrown in there. Basics like a fry pan, bowl, cooking spoon, whisk etc. was missing
-obviously many things that previous guests left there (dirty comforter, food, toiletries)
-one bedside lamp broken. A wooden board under the (dirty) mattress broken which was very dangerous. Socks, water bottle and clipped nails from previous guests under the bed - disgusting!
-very dirty carpet in the bedroom
