Great location, in the Gaslamp District. Good access to lots of things to do. It's a very active nightlife, dining & drinking area, not much retail. There's noise on the street at night but this unit is in the middle of the building so it's not bothersome. We put on some white noise and it was quiet. We slept great!
They are correct in the description that the building itself is old and dated. The exit sign in the 4th floor hallway was hanging by wires, plenty of dirt and dust and deferred maintenance, but again it's the building, not the unit. They don't open the whole building, so I get it. The unit was immaculately clean, had the things we needed and was a great home base for a fun time in San Diego.
We would definitely stay here again!
Pro Tip: get the Circuit /FRED app for FREE (plus tips) pooled rides all over San Diego. Fred is run by the City of San Diego to encourage tourism and help people get around. We went from the apartment to the marina, to the train station, the grocery store. Pretty awesome. Cards are so cute and they are way cheaper than pedi-cabs or Uber/Lyft!
