If you want to stay in San Diego away from downtown but still a convenient distance from everything, look no further. Winston's place was bright and immaculately cleaned, and the combination of ceiling fan and air conditioner ensured I was always comfortable. There are shops and bus stops a short walk away, although I found Uber very efficient and surprisingly cheap due to the location. Winston and Steph are very easy to communicate with.
There are two different deadlocks protecting the studio, so I always felt safe. Overall there was less noise than I would have expected, and it was very peaceful compared to downtown locations. But what I found the most delightful about the studio were all the small details in the kitchen and bathroom: all the toiletries, condiments, utensils, and other assorted bits and pieces you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. I could have easily stayed longer than 3 nights! If I ever find myself in San Diego for work again, I will be looking up this listing!
