The actual unit is nice but beware of the free parking on premises offer. Maybe Steven will remove that from the listing but when we booked his place, the listing said free parking on the premises. We visit San Diego at least once a year and anyone who visits downtown SD often knows the value of free parking. The day before we arrived, he informed us of the free street parking and paid parking options. I asked about the stated free parking and he continued to only offer the street and paid options. The first night was ruined looking for parking and we were out an additional $200 because of his false listing. I verified that there is tenant parking in the basement so Steven either did not want to move his car or he does not pay for a parking space at this building. This alone leads me to not recommend staying here.
As far as cleanliness, on the surface, things look decent. But after settling in, I found a used Ziploc bag in the stove, a cannabis "roach" on the patio, opened pasta boxes in the cupboards, and a bathroom that needed the tub scrubbed much better than it was. I would have hoped for a cleaner experience than I receive at a Motel 6 but that was not the case.
Steven's communication was good to begin with but after raising concerns about the parking issues, he was very slow in his communications. He asked for a 5 star review even after knowing my displeasure with the parking. I am not sure what he thought justified such a review.
