The location was convenient and is not that far away from everything. We had to walk 20 minutes from Santa Fe Depot/to the pier area, but the weather was nice so it was quite comfortable walking.
The check-in info was clear, and the room was clean.
Towels/shampoo/body wash/conditioner were all provided, and that was great. The room was warm and the bed was comfy.
The bathroom was slightly chilly and the water could've run hotter, but it wasn't a big problem.
There was a small TV with tons of channels to choose from. Microwave/coffee machine/mini fridge. Wifi was stable.
There was a storage room on the first floor to put your stuff before/after your stay.
The only problem we had during our stay was the noise from the hallway and upstairs. The building contained multiple rooms and looked like a hostel/dorm, which wasn't an issue since we had our own bathroom.
However, the sound of walking/dragging stuff around upstairs kept me awake until very late at the first night. There were also loud door shutting sounds during the first night and early in the first morning, and that was annoying.
We sent a msg to John and he replied quickly. However, these didn't seem like issues that could be easily resolved by him alone. He did ask us how he could assist us, but in the end we had to accept that perhaps we just had bad luck to have inconsiderate neighbors staying with us in the building.
Overall, our stay in San Diego was a pleasant experience. We could tell that the hosts did do their best to perfect all the details within their control. The room was comfy, and they respond fast enough. Thanks for giving us a good start in 2022!
