William was a fantastic host responding quickly to any request or issue. The room is a great space and very well decorated. Overall vibe is urban retro with a perfect workspace for a laptop if working remotely. The utilitarian kitchen is ideal for any basic need. As for Balboa park this loft could not be better situated for treks to the park for runs or exploring the museums. I also easily walked to Gaslamp and a Padres game from the loft while Bankers Hill offers a few close by restaurants, Pilates, and a convenience store for any immediate need. Free Parking usually was not an issue right across from the loft on the street or up a street or two during business hours. The loft is located in the flight path of the airport so they do fly right over the loft when landing which is noted in the info about this property. The net is an awesome spot, safe and secure, perfectly located, a great host that is welcoming and upon entering the loft left a greeting basket of cookies and snacks :) cookies were too hard to resist they were delicious.
