I was afraid that the noise from the airport would be a problem, but my wife and I didn't notice it. The apartment is a normal SoCal living space (no AC, but two fans were provided and the space is a bit smaller) that's been nicely updated. The place has a great location just one street outside of the official Little Italy business district. Even though it's officially outside of Little Italy, it's SO close to everything. We walked almost everywhere in Little Italy within 15 - 20 minutes, but the majority of our Little Italy outings only took about 6 - 10 minutes. The path to and from Little Italy is well lit and the close proximity to the highway makes getting around town in a Lyft easy. I came for work and I was only a 5-8 minute Lyft from the convention center. The only thing I would've liked was an ironing board and an iron for my work shirts, but...I didn't ask, so I didn't hold it against them in my review (it may have been in there and I just didn't find it).
The hosts are fantastic and responded to all of our questions and requests promptly. We really enjoyed our time here and will look to stay here again when we return to San Diego!
