Great apartment, but pity about the location. Granted that the unit didn’t face the front road where the pub-crawling noise on weekends can get out of hand. But it faces the back alley where all the air-con condensers are located and there was a constant buzz throughout the stay, and louder on Saturday nights. The apartment is also located right in Gaslamp Quarter which, for those unsuspecting, is populated with numerous vagrants and homeless people. The entire neighbourhood is dirty amd smelly. Just some thing to note.
Other than the location, and the juxtaposition of the apartment that prevents you from ever opening the windows, Ben and Mayra are wonderful hosts who respond almost instantaneously to your every query, One wonders if Ben ever sleeps!
The apartment is super clean, very well equipped, and well lit. Our one-bedroom also comes with an extra queen-size bed in the large living room that doesn’t obstruct the living space. Ben made sure that the steaming services were working and even saved a channel on YouTube that he (correctly) felt that Inwould be interested in.
The washing machine was a little dodgy, and one of my slacks got trapped inside the spindle and needed the janitor to come in to remove it. There is a mark on the pants now and hopefully, I’ll be able to remove it when I get home.
Overall, a nice apartment that is located among bars and clubs, and all that comes with that sort of neighbourhood.
