Apartment had everything we needed.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Sam, Jay, & Kat were wonderful hosts and maintained excellent communication throughout our whole trip! They were very accommodating for the check-in process and even gave us a special rate if we wished to extend our stay. The apartment had everything we needed. One thing I would be remiss to not mention is the location. It is not in a safe area. We avoided walking for this reason. Every Uber driver said the same thing. Homeless people surround the building and were doing drugs day and night, fighting, etc. A family staying in the building mentioned their child had been spat on that day. As mentioned, the hosts were wonderful and this is not something in their control, but we did want to mention this to warn people staying alone and for those with children. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and again want to emphasize we understand this is not the fault of the hosts.

The apartment has everything we needed: a full kitchen, a living room with pullout couch, a bedroom and even a washing machine and dryer. And it's a walking distance to a grocery store, Gaslamp Quarter (about 15 minute walk) and the Convention Center (about 25 minute walk). Be prepared to see homeless on every corner and on the streets as you walk to/from the hotel from the Gaslamp or the convention center. The customer service/landlord was very accommodating and could be easily reached. Pull-out couch has seen better days and was not comfortable. Otherwise, apartment was nice and had a rooftop.
