Gilda's place is part of an older apartment complex near Balboa park. San Diego is not too big of a city so no matter where you're staying nothing is too far. Everything listed for the apartment was pretty much what we got (except for the bed), but everything was just slightly too old / uncomfortable to make the stay a nice experience. I enjoyed my time in San Diego but the time spent in the airbnb was not what made it. The bed was a full sized bed and not a queen sized bed, the bathroom is much smaller than it seems in the photos, with very little areas to put toiletries, the towel racks and electrical panels are rusted, the couch is quite uncomfortable, and everything just had an older feel to it, but not in a nice rustic way.
