This is a spacious studio apartment, conveniently located within 8 miles of many of San Diego's most popular sites (Balboa Park, the Zoo, Little Italy, Mission Bay, San Diego Bay). The neighborhood is residential and the studio is located on a cul de sac so there was always space to park our car roadside. My husband & I felt very safe walking the half-mile to nearby restaurants, grocery store, and laundromat. The studio apartment is comfortable, clean, spacious, and has a nice vibe. The kitchen is compact but has everything you need to fix meals and a fold-down table for dining in the main room. The hosts are friendly and responsive. As others have mentioned, the studio is in the flight path of the airport. Noise tolerance is a subjective thing and if you are on the fence about staying here because of the noise, I would recommend trying it in the cooler months when you can close the windows. The noise is substantially less with the windows closed and the hosts & studio itself are so nice and in a great location that it is worth a try.
