My family was visiting San Diego, so I wanted to go down to meet them. They were required to stay at the Sheraton Four Points, and after reading the bad reviews on that hotel, I decided to get an AirBnB instead. So the location and price was pretty paramount. I was less than half a mile away from my family, and the price was less than the hotel. Win Win.
The studio didn't end up being available for an early check-in (1 pm), but they allowed me to park my car in a paid parking spot ($60 for two nights) so I could leave for the day. That was very helpful.
BED & BEDROOM: Located on the third floor with no elevator, so keep that in mind for possible accessibility issues. The room was cute and very comfortable! I recommend bringing an eye mask, and they provided ear plugs as you're under the flight path. But as a deep sleeper, I never woke up due to the airplanes, or even any other noise from the neighborhood or the neighbors.
SHOWER: Fine shower.
AMENITIES: They left two little bottles of water and two sodas, and that was really nice after a long hot day in SD! The Roku/TV wasn't working for me, perhaps because the wi-fi was a bit slow. That was my only real issue, as I had problems connecting my laptop the entire weekend. But that's an easy fix.
LOCATION: I chose this for the close proximity to my family, but it was really nice being next to Balboa Park. I highly recommend this location to runners/walkers, as you can get in lots of miles in a picturesque and safe area. I walked past a few addicts/homeless people during the day, but I didn't feel unsafe. However, I was always given a ride back to the studio and never walked around the area after dark.
Overall, this is new construction, and I recommend it to travelers!
