Perfect location! Clean, neat and functional. Can't hear street noise or loud nearby establishments.
Hosts were fantastic, good communication throughout stay and provided early check-in at a reasonable price. (if you need to store luggage due to a morning arrival, this service is provided by a nearby shop called The Emergency Room).
The location is the main reason to stay here. It's at the northernmost developed block of Fifth Avenue, which runs right through the center of the Gaslamp District. Any further north and things get a little sketch at night, but we felt very safe in this unit. Excellent door security, and plenty of folks strolling the area late in the evening. And it's a block north of the clubs that get very noisy on the weekend. We didn't hear any commotion from the clubs, even on Friday and Saturday night.
The unit itself is fairly spacious. The floors do slope downward to the left by at least an inch or two throughout, so if you have mobility issues take care when walking. It's not terrible, but it is noticeable. If you're not used to historic buildings, you may be caught off guard.
It's about a fifteen minute walk to the embarcadero, and rental scooters are everywhere if you want to cut that time down even further. Uber pickups were super simple in front of the building.
We appreciated the coffee and creamer onsite, as well as the sunblock.
We didn't have a vehicle with us, but the included parking pass is a huge bonus if you have yours.
Prolonged early morning footsteps (5-6am) from upstairs woke us several times during our stay. Fortunately, we brought a white noise machine and were able to crank it loud enough to cover the noise. I'd recommend bringing one unless the owners add it.
The furniture, beds, pillows are adequate, though the beds should be leveled due to the floor. There also needs to be more soft lighting throughout, a few torchieres in corners would likely do the trick. The included appliances we used all worked, washer, dryer, refrigerator, iron, hair dryer.
We'd certainly stay again for the location if visiting the Gas Lamp District. The price was right for the level of amenities provided.
We enjoyed it, thank you so much!
