I found this little apartment to be clean, well-stocked, conveniently located and charming. I had been in San Diego for a work conference and when that ended I needed a place to stay for 2 nights, one by myself and then with my husband as he flew in to meet me to start our vacation. I had no trouble finding the place beyond feeling a little weird walking the alleyway to find the actual spot to get in. The instructions provided were good so it wasn't a problem. I found the apartment to be very comfortable and it had all the amenities you would need for a 2 night stay. I would say the street parking and walking to the apartment had me a bit worried, being alone that first night, but parking was readily available on the street near the alleyway to the apartment and getting in the apartment was no problem. I didn't feel unsafe during my walks through the alley. You are staying within a locked gate from the alley, however the one addition to the unit I think would be an improvement would be to have an interior safety lock on the patio door, which is the only door to the lower apartment. That is because that door could be shoved open from the outside quite easily. Again, you are within a locked courtyard so no one should be able to get in, but the unit would feel safer with an interior safety lock (even a hook and eye closure between the patio doors). Overall, great place. I would recommend to anyone and stay again myself.
