We booked a quick one night trip in San Diego, as we would be in town for a concert. Max & Katya were always very fast to reply and answer our questions. They were willing to accommodate our small dog, which was also very much appreciated. Very nice family & seemed willing to do anything they could to assist. Easy communication was fantastic. Overall, for a quick, single night crash spot it worked great. North Park location was perfect with lots of nearby trendy restaurants and parking was easy on a Friday night.
The “studio” is really just a carriage garage with very little insulation & is on the street level. Light sleepers might struggle here due to the noise from cars and pedestrians outside. The space itself was small, but had the basics. The bathroom was extremely TINY, felt like a camper and had a bit of an odor to it which just reminded you that you were in a garage. Not really any amenities to speak of, except for a microwave and mini fridge. Note that there is no TV or radio here, as this surprised us. The access to the outdoor space is not easy to find & a note from the hosts requested you let them know if you wished to go to the patio so they could show you how to get there.
Overall the space was okay, nothing fancy. A few basic updates and including some more high end “extra touch” amenities would really go a long way here to justify the price tag.
