The inside of this apartment is very cute! It was exceptionally clean, well decorated and comfortable. The building itself felt very safe, it was a secure entry into the building and the apartment itself. We knew this prior to booking, but it is not a self check in. Someone meets you at the apartment and lets you in and shows you around etc. The communication was very smooth though and they were very nice. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is very loud! You can hear the street noise and the apartment above you…we went out to the gaslamp district and stayed up late, but were still surprised at the noise. There was no street parking available when we were there but we used a parking garage a couple blocks away. There are homeless people in this area and near the apartment. We are not from California so it wasn’t something we were used to seeing in such large quantities so it was disturbing for us to see, but having said that we had no negative interactions or problems. Overall we had a nice stay!
