Overall, I really loved my stay - the location was convenient for the price and walkable within 20 minutes to both the Gaslamp district and Little Italy (though it's an uphill walk coming back from both). There were also several coffee spots and daytime food spots nearby, as well as larger residential towers so it doesn't feel out of the way from the city center. You're also only about a 20 minute scooter ride from the Zoo / museum park complex. There's a second floor mural and outdoor signage that adds to the aesthetic.
Only issue I had was with the inner door / my room's electric lock being non-intuitive to figure out how to activate. The door also had a slight gap at the bottom so you hear everything going on in the hallway, though neighbors weren't noisy besides entering and exiting the building. John was really responsive, and quickly helped facilitate a solution with the lock confusion I had. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.
