Everybody was great. I used to live nearby (before moving to the east coast) so I knew the area well -- it's walkable and attractive. The noise from the jets flying low immediately overhead didn't bother me after the first few days, and they stop flying by midnight. I love the character of the old building and its public rooms, and I loved my private kitchenette. The management was friendly and considerate--thinking (without me even asking them) to take out a couch and put in a table and a reading chair before I got there for my four-month stay working in San Diego. Also, it's great how Amazon can deliver packages into the lobby, or even to one's door, if you put the gate code in your delivery address. And I wasn't disappointed over either of my main reasons for selecting the place: Close proximity to public transit and dog-friendliness. My canine best friend and I had a peaceful stay, and there were always several other guests I would see walking their dogs. Simple room, good value.
