April 6, 2021I enjoyed living at Sixth&G Apartments for the past two years because it is ideally located in the Gaslamp Quarter and is walking distance to all your favorite places. The outside entrance, inside lobby, gym, entertainment lounge, hallways, and underground parking are kept pristine with daily cleanings. Management/maintenance are incredible and quickly respond to requests. The high ceilings and thick concrete walls provide peace and quiet while allowing you to live in a very festive place.Property Manager Responded

March 13, 2020The community is clean, located near most everything downtown. Be aware that noise can be an issue and there are quite a bit of fees on top of rent, to include a trash service that is absolutely not needed. There are trash shoots on every floor and they charge $10 for someone to grab your trash from your door. I would not mind if they charged against our will. Please reconsider this 6th and G!Property Manager Responded
March 17, 2020Thank you so much for voicing your concerns about our Valet Waste services and providing us with great feedback about the community. I would love to invite you in to grab some coffee and we can discuss this Valet Waste program we offer. It really is like a concierge for your trash services!

Disappointed
September 29, 2015I am a current resident at the Lofts at 655 Sixth. I really like my unit and the location is great. However, three things that I am very disappointed about are; 1. My unit was not ready when I moved in. The keys were not made for me when I went to pick them up and there were people still inside of my unit cleaning it. 2. I pay $100.00 each month for parking (never a late payment). My car was correctly registered in TheLofts online database upon move in. They wrongfully towed my car ...from the parking garage. When I asked the office why my car was towed, they were unable to tell me why. My receipt from the towing company indicates that the reason for being towed was "parking permit expired" (my permit is current). 3. The "gym". The treadmill and the elliptical do not work.Read MoreReview from Apartments.com
