This Airbnb is great for a single traveler or a couple. It is small but comfortable. It is clean and has exactly the necessities you need or would get w/ a hotel: clean bed, private bathroom, mini fridge etc. It is perfect if you plan on touring around the city all day and need somewhere convenient to come back to. John was a great host and was very quick to respond when communicating.
This is also a great location if you plan on embracing the downtown area and it’s nightlife. The place is within great walking distance of everything. There is coffee shops, breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and clubs/bars all within a reasonable walking distance if not only a block or two away.
Parking isn’t bad. You can use an app to find spots/a garage or park on the street. We were out most of the day and used the zoo or museum’s free parking. By the time we came back to the AirBNB it was after 6PM and free. Just be sure to set an alarm to buy a couple hours at 8AM. It was the perfect amount of time to get up and ready before we left for the day.
Keep in mind you are in the city. There will be homeless people around and weird smells occasionally. It’s just the natural thing that comes with any city life or city Airbnb. That being said, this place met our expectations and I would recommend it if visiting San Diego.
