Listen, y'all -- this place is quirky. If you are particular and like to complain, go somewhere else. There are light switches that don't turn anything on or off. There are broken tiles in the bathrooms, the living room furniture is more thrift store than West Elm, and there are exactly four spoons in the silverware drawer. If you have five people who want to eat soup, you're gonna have to take turns. None of this is a big deal and let me tell you why -- you are going to be a six minute walk from the Embarcadero. Ten minute drives to Seaport Village, Balboa Park and the Zoo. Five minutes to the rental car center and 10 minutes to the airport. Fifteen to La Jolla. Ten minutes to Ocean Beach and twelve to Mission Beach. There's a 7-Eleven 200 feet from your front door, and you're a half mile from the fanciest grocery store you'll ever go to in your life -- Ralph's. All of this, and you'll have a dedicated off-street parking spot. In downtown San Diego -- an actual parking spot of your very own! If you have never been to San Diego, you don't know how important this is. That parking spot is worth $200 a day, minimum. Trust me on this.
The beds are comfy. The place is clean. There are four bedrooms and four bathrooms, but only three of the bedrooms are en suite. One of the bedrooms does not have a bathroom in it so that person will have to walk down the hall. They will survive. It's not a long walk. One of the bedrooms has a sitting room that you walk thru to get to the bathroom, so if you are traveling with infants or small children, it will be perfect for you. The kids will be in your room, but not "in" your room.
When you leave, you don't have to do anything but drop the key back off at the hotel across the street. No gathering trash or running the dishwasher or any of that nonsense. Just drop the key off and go.
Oh, remember how I told you the airport is ten minutes away? You're gonna hear planes. And you're gonna sit on the front porch and see these gigantic 737s from Southwest and Alaskan Air fly right overhead that look like they're only ten feet above you, and you're going to take pictures to show your friends at home. You might even take video. And then you're gonna go inside and barely hear it. If you do hear it, you can turn on the AC in your bedroom on High and it'll drown it out. Plus there's quiet hours overnight so it's not going to keep you up.
Would I stay here again? Absolutely. The location is incredible, and we had a fantastic time!
