The Victorian home was super cozy and in between two iconic neighborhoods – Gaslamp and Little Italy. The location made most things walkable in about 15 minutes, with the only drawback being that we weren’t directly embedded in a neighborhood where we could step out and grab food within 5 minutes.
Parking was also super convenient, since there’s free street parking 1 block away and usually there’s a spot you can nab, spending at most 5 minutes driving around finding a spot. We were also here during the shutdown period, so all metered parking was free as well, which meant for most of our stay we could just park directly in front of the house, switching sides of the street based on the street cleaning schedule.
In-unit laundry was very convenient and the heating system worked wonders for the chilly evenings. Taking out the trash was also very easy, and having keyless entry meant we never had to worry about leaving the house without keys.
This is very much a shoes on establishment, though, so if you’re used to taking off your shoes at home, make sure to pack a pair of indoor slippers!
The king bed was the coziest, softest bed I’ve ever rested on and the queen bed is quite alright as well (can’t live up to the king though), but I wouldn’t bank on the futon to be comfortable enough to sleep on long term.
If you’re working from home, the wifi here is amazingly fast – over 100mbps download and 30mbps upload speeds
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and Chloe+Jill were super responsive throughout. Hope this little Victorian oasis in the middle of the city is still here the next time we visit SD!
