Location - this seems to be the main draw for this place. Located 10-15min to pretty much anywhere you would want to go in San Diego. Bunch of local eats. Vons just a few minutes away. 7-11 literally across the street.
On the same token, it is not the nicest area. We noticed the pictures of the balcony in the listing and were looking forward to having a meal up there but 7-11 was not the most pleasing view. So keep that in mind. Pictures dont show that your view is of a back alley and 7-11. Also, during our stay, there was extremely loud construction just down the street.
Parking can be an issue. We came on street cleaning week too, so monday we had to move our car by 10. Not a big deal since we planned to head out early anyway, but annoying to be on a schedule.
Loft itself - the loft itself is clean. Kitchen sink was a bit clogged.
Tv - The huge window causes so much glare that the tv is not viewable in the morning or during the day.
Number of people - description states 4 people could stay here. Im not sure how that could be; It seems there could be 2 people on the queen, and 1 on the sofa bed. So, not sure where the 4th person could sleep comfortably? The sofa bed is the size of a twin and designed in a way if u lean to one side the bed will flip over and I only weigh 185.
We usually take our own streaming devices when traveling. This tv is mounted to the wall in a way so the back panel is not accessible.
No smoking or vaping on property - we do not smoke. However, seems like a strange rule for a place with an outdoor open balcony and open front patio.
Conclusion - price is too high for what u get (we paid $200/night). We were not crazy about the location, nor the view. Parking was annoying. If we could go back, we would not stay here and instead would have chosen a hotel in la jolla right off the beach for similar price.
