This is such a great location, it is close to so many places of interest! Both Balboa and Gaslamp are within walking distance. Amazing restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Street parking was fine for me, and I didn’t need to use a parking garage. My stay was during the weekend, so it may be different during workdays…
Check-in went smoothly. Tim messaged me the morning of with all the details. He provided all the codes, and I was able to get into the apartment without issue. He even provided a little “guide” where he recommends local spots: restaurants, bars, grocery stores, etc.
This is in a busy part of the city, so expect city noises (buses, cars, people walking/talking down the street). Tim does provide complimentary ear plugs if you are sensitive to loud sounds. I’m a heavy sleeper, so I was able to sleep comfortably throughout the night.
Apartment was well maintained and cleaned. The kitchen has a gas stove, fridge, microwave, and essential dish ware. It also has AC but the weather was so good, I didn’t really find a need for it. Bathroom and shower were decently sized. When I took out the trash in the back, I noticed there was a washer and dryer available. I didn’t use them, so I can’t really speak to them.
In summary, Tim’s place was a great place to stay in! He was very responsive to my messages. It was so close to many places, and everything else was a quick 15-20 min car ride away. Clean and cute place to stay at for a long weekend!
