My husband and I absolutely loved our stay here! Would definitely stay again and would recommend choosing Hector's tiny home when traveling to SD as a great affordable option for accommodations. The outside of the tiny home was so cute and inside, we had everything we needed! Very clean and great location! Close by to everything including the airport! Hector has another identical tiny home right next to ours, so it's the perfect option if you're traveling with another couple. Parking is right outside the gate, so no need for parking on the street. I thought it was very nice that there were some snacks and drinks that Hector provided for purchase in the tiny home which you pay using the honor system and leaving cash in the designated cup.
One thing we were a little hesitant about when deciding to book was reading some of the reviews about the neighborhood. But, before booking we googled the street view of the area and it looked totally fine, so we went ahead and proceeded with booking with Hector. Driving through the neighborhood after arriving confirmed this for us. It did not seem sketchy, we had NO issues with the area at all, and did not feel like it was unsafe in the least bit. Plus, you lock the gate and Hector has cameras around the lot. I was so surprised that people were saying that it felt a little sketchy. But, hey everyone is different.
Some things to expect:
There is a tram-train that runs just outside, but wasn't bothersome at all for me and I'm a light sleeper. It never kept me awake nor did I wake up from it. There was also a noise in the kitchen area of the tiny home from time to time and upon reading other reviews, turns out it is the water heater, but again, it didn't bother us at all. We were just curious as to what it was. There is an air freshener located up top above the door which sprays occasionally which kept startling me haha, but only because it was unexpected. I eventually got used to it during our 3 day stay.
Overall, awesome place to stay! Thanks so much Hector! Will definitely keep your place in mind next time we go to SD.
