If you're looking for a downtown/loft type vacation, this place is perfect! I came here for Valentines day weekend and I loved that we were so close to so many restaurants. Alan was super nice to leave us complementary wine. Check in was super easy, and we were able to find a small parking spot right underneath the loft for one of the days which was fantastic, but you also do get an assigned parking spot across the street which is great. The loft has some basic amenities available. A few recommendations, sit on the couch slowly, some parts are very hard. Watch your left foot when walking out the bathroom so you don't stub your toe against the bed frame. And watch your toes on the bench next to the window downstairs. Alan was a great host who responded to questions I had quickly. I would definitely recommend Alan's loft to discover San Diego!
