Everything was clean and similar to the pictures. On our stay, the amenities weren't as advertised so we had to buy our own shampoo, soap, etc. I wouldn't do another long stay here- we have found other spots in the area with more cookware, cooking utensils and homey touches for our multi-week stays at UCSD, at the same or lower cost. It gets the job done, though, and has nice access to the highways for getting around the city.
