The unit was gorgeous, really clean, with snacks, waters, and a really thorough binder of stuff around the neighborhood. The bed was super comfy and the location was walkable to tons of stuff. If you are looking for a weekend full of nightlife, this is the place for you! That being said, here were some of the things I struggled with during my stay:
I'm a pretty heavy sleeper, and the noise outside even bothered me. I know it's in the Gaslamp District, but since the unit has quiet hours (10p-7a) and rules about wearing shoes in the unit to not disturb the unit downstairs, I was not expecting it to be that noisy. I imagine this is less of an issue on weeknights, but Friday/Saturday the club music is loud until at least 2/3am.
The other REALLY difficult thing was checking in and out, since the parking pass has to be in the unit. This would not have been a problem, had I not been travelling alone. If you have more than 1 guest, 1 person can run inside and do the check-in steps while the car circles the block until they can come back with the parking pass. I was on my own and trying to find parking for 5 min nearby so I could get the pass and go park was a pain. There are a number of bars, restaurants, and shops on the street, so I don't think I saw a meter open up once all weekend and the lot next to the unit is $15 for 2 hours. Anyways, it was a pain at both check-in AND check out time, so I wish there was a better solution for that.
Lastly, the building is old and full of character, which I loved, but that meant a few wonky things. The floor in the bathroom is very slanted - not an issue for me, but I kept thinking about my dad with MS, who would have struggled since he already has balance issues. Just something to think about.
