We enjoyed our stay, although it was not without a few disappointments. This location in Little Italy is very convenient for essentially everything in San Diego, and the on-site parking lot is an added benefit in your planning to have a car along for your visit. The space is cozy and you have a great view of downtown from the porch. A few things to note:
1. The airport is right next to this neighborhood and you will have direct airplane noise through the windows/porch doors. It seems that airport traffic typically runs from around 8am to midnight, give or take. There's really no avoiding this as the airport is right near downtown and if you want the convenience of being close by, this is inherent in the Little Italy location. But you should plan to bring ear plugs if you are not used to this noise.
2. The gate code in the property information we received was dated as the gate lock had apparently been replaced, and we had to wait over 20 minutes to receive the correct entry code from the host in order to check in.
3. On checking in we discovered that the coffee mugs and silverware were not clean.
4. During our first evening, the neighbors above us began playing guitar music at around 1:30am.
However, as our stay progressed we encountered no further problems, and we enjoyed the convenience of being in the central location with access to everything. Admittedly, most of the issues we experienced were circumstantial, and I believe this property has the potential for an enjoyable stay.
