Our stay was awesome! We (two of us) stayed for the month of August, which is a very lively time in the Gaslamp.
First, Levi is a great host. Our communication was clear and efficient before and during our stay. He went out of his way to make sure we had an easy check in and got settled with keys, remotes and parking spaces. Whenever I needed to connect with him, which was just a couple times, he responded right away. He really cares that you have a good time during your stay.
The apartment is just as he described and the pictures are true to what you experience. We had everything we needed to enjoy the month. I needed to work during the mornings and I was able to set up my work station in one of the bedrooms and work efficiently.
August in the Gaslamp has a lot to offer if you are looking for a city experience with great weather. We like to do everything on foot, so if you like to walk a lot you can enjoy most of the city from Levi's place. We only took the car out 3 times in 30 days.
We were able to walk 10 minutes over to PetCo park for ballgames, stroll the Seaport Village, take the ferry to Coronado, walk to Little Italy, and take advantage of the Rady Music Shell. The Shell is only one-year old and the San Diego Symphony practices there in the morning. You can walk over and listen to them practice for free several days a week between 10 and noon.
During the month of August the Gaslamp quarter has a lot of special events right outside this location. Friday is movie night, Saturday and Sunday the street is closed to traffic for a crafts fair, and for a couple hours on Sunday the street is turned into a rollerstake party. You can walk to a difference place for dinner every day and have your choice of bars, cafes, and really nice restaurants. It's pretty lively so if you are looking for a more quiet experience you might want to avoid August. The mornings are quiet, and things perk up in the afternoons/evenings, especially if there is a ballgame or special event.
