The host was very friendly and responsive to inquiries.
Pros: The apartment can accommodate 6 to 10 people . Whole Foods and few fast food places are nearby. Towels and coffee are provided. Not far from Balboa Park.
Cons: It is located on the second floor and the stairs that lead to the apartment are narrow and slightly slope downward. Because the apartment is adjacent to the freeway, you hear street /fwy noise constantly. The walls are thin so you can hear neighbors easily too. The place is drafty. The ONE parking spot assigned is a spot in front of a garage door, and it is big enough for a compact car only. If you have an SUV, your car will block the sidewalk which can result in getting a parking ticket. The streets are cluttered, and it’s difficult to find additional parking. There was trash surrounding the building and saw a couple of homeless encampments are in the area. While the apartment was tidy, it felt like it could use a deeper cleaning.
