From making the reservation to timely receiving information about check-in to helpful tips during my stay, Evan was a great host. This studio is as described - modern, comfortable, and in a great location in Little Italy. There are coffee shops, restaurants, bars and shops within blocks, and a decobike station (the city's bike-sharing program) right around the corner. I used a car-rental agency right down the street (West Coast Rentals) to get to the beach, which was super-easy with I-5 access just a couple of blocks from the studio. Beware, you non-city-dwellers, that this is a rapidly-gentrifying neighborhood, and there are active construction sites on both sides of Evan's townhouse. The workers on the site right next to the studio started at 7 am and worked til 3 in the afternoon. Little Italy is also on the final approach to the San Diego airport, so there is noise associated with aircraft passing low overhead. None of this bothered me, but I wouldn't want anyone else's enjoyment of the studio (or the adjacent 2 bedroom, which I can only imagine is fantastic) to be marred by unexpected noise if they were expecting a quiet time in a laid-back beach town!
