The good: Cute neighborhood with restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Price seems OK considering how expensive even a motel is in San Diego. Easy communication. Ample street parking. Good instructions for entering the property. Cookies, gum, chocolate and a few toiletries were left as a welcome gift.
The not-so-good: Unit appeared to be under construction. Some electrical outlets worked, others didn't. Light switches were inoperable. Windows did not slide closed all the way. No extra blankets. Nowhere to place luggage except the floor. No bath mat, washcloths or hand towels, only two bath towels. No closet or hooks. Bathroom light fixture rigged with electrical tape. Thick plastic sheeting covered the outside of the windows. No window treatments except for rear door. The front door frame was splintered and cracked on the inside.
This is a bare bones rental in a handsome neighborhood. Balboa Park is a short drive away. It is sufficient for a night's stay if you know what to expect.
