Id say it was 2-3 stars…
The apartment itself was ok. Lots of space and pretty nice throughout. Kitchen has room to cook for a handful, and the living and dining room were spacious.
The bed was not comfortable though, we even opted to sleep on the couch a few times. The mattress itself on the pull out couch was worse so we actually slept on the actual couch. Keep this in consideration for how long you’re staying. We were here for two weeks.
We thought to do a nice spa day with face masks and the provided bathrobes, however we took one off the hanger and saw the second one (probably both) were used and never washed. It had makeup stains all over it and kind of gave us an uncomfortable feeling when thinking about the sheets and the towels knowing those bathrobes were not washed.
Moving on, the statement more than its 'centrally located' is just a convenient way of saying it's about 10 minute drive from everything. You're not really centrally located in downtown San Diego.. You're 10 minutes from Coronado, 10 minutes from Balboa park/the zoo, 10 minutes from downtown little Italy. Walking is not really an option because to walk downtown puts you through a terrible neighborhood merely two blocks away from the Airbnb. So if you're booking without a vehicle, it's something to consider; and while on the topic of vehicles... Street parking is not always available especially when the motorcycle shop or MC across the street were having parties. We've had to illegally park or just wait on several occasions for spots to open up nearby the apartment.
Finally one evening the power went out at around 2330. We reached out to the owner of the apartment who said she was sending two men to come fix the power in the middle of the night. We had no idea who they were, when they were coming, or if they were going to need to get into the room or not leaving us really uncomfortable. I really wish there was an option to lock the door from the inside. Either a twist on the knob, or more preferably a chain or hotel style door stop that you can stop it from being opened by just the number pad lock.
All in all the stay was just ok.
