My hubby and I were visiting San Diego for the 4th of July and we had a wonderful stay at Brandon's. I picked his listing because of the location and value and I was impressed to find that the space was better than I had even expected! Brandon was very responsive which was helpful in coordinating details and answering questions, and the self check-in was easy.
Although on the smaller side, the room met our needs just fine and the bed was comfortable. Some thoughtful touches we appreciated include the small fridge in the room that was stocked with water and soda and the soft bath linens.
The location was great, too. Whole Foods and Better Buzzed (coffee shop) are right around the corner and we went almost every morning. There was a ton of restaurants in the neighborhood to choose from, and we were also within a quick bike ride to Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo. Taking a Lyft to Gaslamp was super cheap. Another "pro" I took note of is that there is a fire station on the same block, which made me feel at ease leaving kayaks on our vehicle overnight all weekend.
I recommend staying!
