Gilda’s AirBnB was exactly what we expected and needed it to be. The recommendations to local cafes and restaurants were very much appreciated. There are also nearby panaderías/pastry shops and breakfast stops. It was an easy walk or quick drive into the downtown area and Balboa Park. Also super close to highway for access to other local jewels like La Jolla and Old Town. I only took a star from the check-in process because (to no fault of Gilda’s) the gate box machine was not working when we got there to get in the apartment complex, but luckily a neighbor let us in. After that, it was easy peasy to get into the apartment with the door keypad and we were able to get to the key to bypass the gate box thereafter.
