Julia and Thomas’s place is just as pictured. Some people mention check-in not being ideal, but just keep up communication with them and it will work out fine. Their communication was great.
Location is in Gaslamp so there will be homeless. Face it, you’re in a city in CA, there’s going to be lots of homelessness. If you don’t want to deal with that, then I recommend staying in Coronado or something instead. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. Great bathroom with a nice shower and they include minor toiletries and some other things. Parking wasn’t an issue for us since we stayed mid-week and we parked in a nearby garage. Use SpotHero app to find cheaper parking nearby at a garage and it ends up being $10-$15 per day instead of $40+.
Overall, great stay with great communication. I think the location is better suited for the younger crowd than a family, but I came with my family with no issues.
Thanks again Julia and Thomas!
