Mayra and Ben are the most responsive hosts I have ever had. They certainly go all out to make sure you get into your apartment easily and make your stay as enjoyable as possible. I was in San Diego for a conference and as many other reviews have stated, it is a short, safe walk to the convention center. Located in the heart of Gaslamp, there is no shortage of restaurants and bars to go to which unfortunately is a bit noisy on the weekend. During the week, the apartment was quiet enough, but you can hear sounds from the surrounding apartments. The place is clean and has a comfortable couch and bed but the cabinets, floors and other furniture is certainly older than I expected. Given the insane hotel prices, this was good option to stay close to the convention center but my rating is only 3 stars due to the age of building and apartment.
