Location is great, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go, if we didn't the FRED is wonderful we never waited more than 5 min for it. Like other reviews stated there is noise from the clubs downstairs, so if you are a light sleeper keep that in mind, it didn't affect us too much and since we had seen other reviews we were prepared. Communication with the hosts was great. They responded fairly quickly accomodated our early check in w/a fee that was reasonable. I wouldn't say it's "as pictured" but if you just need a place to sleep that's close to just about everything in Gaslamp and downtown this is perfect. We were in town on a really hot weekend for SD so it was a little warm in the unit, the AC is a window unit, not central air. I'd request an extra fan ahead of your stay, we had requested one for the loft area, but we never received it. Parking was not an issue, the host had provided a list of parking locations ahead of time and we were able to get parking, just be sure to read the fine print to pay attention to those lots that do not allow you to come in and out, we paid for the entire weekend and failed to notice that. We would stay again.
