I arrived a little later than expected but was able to find this home and gain access fairly easily. the first thing I noticed was that there were no curtains, only blinds. also it was really really cold! after running around and turning on heaters and getting unpacked I tripped a breaker. the gas heater in the living room is inoperable so I had to use the 2 electric heaters provided. they work great but you have to make sure they are on different breakers. once I figured that out I realized the bedroom had an ac unit in the window and the housing was broken. I contacted the host and within 15 minutes someone was there to fix the issue. also the bathroom window has a large enough gap on the bottom I used 2 hand towels to seal that. other than those 2 concerns everything was great.
Very charming, quiet, large apartment. Close to Balboa park which is just gorgeous and parking was not an issue for me at all.
