Good part : This is in a prime location and very close to Gaslamp quarter. Restaurants are super accessible. The host is very responsive. The room was small in size but this is ok given the price. Zoo, balboa park are a few mins away.
Not so good part : No elevators and our room was on the 3rd floor. We had a lot of luggage so taking the stairs and carrying the luggage was really difficult. Also, it is right next to a parking building in which a lot of homeless people were residing. However, we parked on the streets for 6 days and did not face any issues. The entrance and stairs area was smelling but the room was clean. The AC is a portable AC (We missed this detail and it is peak summer when we visited. )
