We had a great 3 night stay at Rachel's place, a little loft studio apartment right in the heart of Little Italy. There was a parking space (not suitable for oversized cars) designated for us in the car park. The loft was comfortable, the main bed is up a steep set of steps but it's comfy once you are up there! As others have mentioned there is some noise from outside, mainly cars and overhead planes but it didn't really bother us and didn't keep us awake (we used earplugs). The aircon unit is loud and that drowns out out any noise. Check in and out and communication was great, we'd definitely recommend as a great base to explore San Diego.
