This stay is worth it! The location is perfect for getting around San Diego. There are a few grocery stores within walking distance, including one right in front of the building, which turned out to be very convenient. The hosts provide just about everything you could need. We appreciated that they provided small bottles of cooking oil and local gourmet coffee.
Parking isn’t all that tricky! We were nervous after reading reviews but we never had an issue with finding a parking space. The meter is 0.50 cents an hour and is free over night. We paid a total of about less than $4/day.
As for the neighborhood: keep in mind that this is an urban dwelling! It’s in the heart of the city. There are homeless folks who walk around at night. There are buildings with graffiti, that are more run down than others. However, overall the area is safe during daylight hours. I would not recommend walking alone at night in the city.
We would give it a five star rating but cannot due to cleanliness. Given that the description boasts professional cleaning, we were not too impressed. After an hour of walking on the floors in our bare feet, the bottom of our feet were black! I actually hand mopped the floors because the floors felt icky. This was truly the only issue that we encountered.
Overall, for the price, quality, comfort and location, we were very satisfied with our stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
