Let me start by saying it’s a nice studio and worked for our family of 3 pretty well. I would have loved some actual comfy chairs in the living room space instead of beanbags. But since I was there for cancer surgery at UCSD I wasn’t sitting up long. The bed is very low but I’m 49 and had surgery so I’m sure that’s the reason it seemed so low. Every night we were there the upstairs people were very noisy until 5am. Techno beats all night with lots of furniture moving. Yelling on the stairwell that is outside the bathroom window. Loud techno during the day. The planes were easier to get used to. We are quiet which is why I didn’t mind the email that said we had to be quiet for the upstairs people but after hearing them the whole time I was perplexed as to why I even got an email. Walkability is nice. Lots of party places. Which is why this space may be more suitable to younger people who aren’t getting surgery. Washer and dryer is a plus. Kitchen has everything you need except trash bags. Parking is difficult. The parking garages we called said that they did not take reservations. We found a spot and my husband tried to walk to most places. It cost money every time you left the parking garage. Also the sign that says $11 parking on the garage is wrong. It’s 20 every time. The air conditioner works great. The sunlight that comes in the front is nice. I didn’t mind cleaning up before we left as we are tidy people anyway but taking out the trash was hard since someone locked the garbage and we had to be at the airport really early in the morning. The floor needs to be mopped it was sticky in a lot of places. We struggled with the key box upon arrival and when leaving. I would also recommend a book in the home with all the info about where the trash is, AC, keypad, parking, local stuff… etc.
All that being said, it was lovely, had most of what we needed. I wish I was 20 years younger. I don’t think I would have ever enjoy techno music though.
