Suha is a great host and the loft is perfect for one person or a couple. Even though it is right in the heart of the Gaslamp quarter, the apartment is relatively quiet at night. There was some construction going on below, but unless you sleep in late, it isn't an issue. Everything you need or want is very close by. There is a nice yoga studio around the corner called Pura Vida that I recommend, as well.
There are plastic reusable bags in the drawer next to the kitchen sink that can be used to take to the grocery. Because of the plastic bag ban, stores charge for individual bags, so use these to save a little. The grocery store is close and very nice.
The skylights in the loft add a lot of natural light, and have shades that can be drawn if you like it dark when you wake up. There is one above the bed, which I found to be a nice way to wake up naturally. Very nice loft and very reasonably priced for the area.
