The space served its purpose, but was not as advertised.
The parking space mentioned in other reviews is now only available from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon. I suspect this is due to the "HOA wanting to shut down AirBNB" as I was told by the host. We were instructed not to unload or load our luggage from the advertised space but to do so from the street. And that if anyone asked we were to say we were visiting the owner, a name different than that of the host or Daniel mentioned in multiple reviews. This made us very uncomfortable as we were worried would might end up with no space to stay while in town specifically for SDCC which means there aren't available last minute options. We were told to park in the ally across the train tracks since we got there on a Wednesday and weren't allowed use of the parking space, and on Friday found that the window to our rental car had been smashed.
It should be noted that the AC unit is only on the first floor living area and to cool the upstairs bedroom you will need to leave the unit on fairly low and set up a box fan on the floor to blow up to the small fan mounted on the steps, and keep all doors and drapes pulled to get the space to a reasonable temp for sleeping. Leaving the doors isn't an option as this apartment is right next to the train tracks and horns and bells go off well into the night and start very early in the morning.
We found the living area difficult to get comfortable in. The couch required a wall of pillows built up behind you just to be able to sit comfortably, and then a wall built in front of the AC that had to be left on to keep it from blowing directly on you nonstop.
I will say that the walk to the trolly stop wasn't that far, and there are plenty of resturants and bars close by that are quite nice and enjoyable. There were an abundance of linens in the space, something almost unheard of for an AirBNB. Essentials like shampoo, conditioner, blow dryer, kitchen appliances, plates, cups, utensils, etc. were all there and in great shape. Again something you rarely find in a stay like this. I believe had I been prepared and not had certain expectations I would not have been as disappointed.
