If you're looking for a bohemian space within the heart of Little Italy, look no further than this place!
LOCATION
You can't beat the location! I'm glad I opted to stay away from the much more lively Gaslamp Quarter. At Ryan's place, you're about a 15-minute walk from San Diego's must-sees including Broadway Pier, Waterfront Park, vibrant Little Italy and the Gaslamp Quarter, to name a few.
TRANSPORTATION
Trolley
Only a 5 min walk to the Little Italy station that connects you to downtown (Amtrak Station, Seaport Village, Convention Center & Gaslamp Quater) or the opposite end to North Park.
Ferry
Take a brisk 15-minute walk to Bayview Pier to catch the ferry to Coronado Island.
Ride-Share
Since you're in the heart of the city, ride-share services such as Lyft and Uber are abundant. There's also another option which is at no-cost that connects visitors from Little Italy into downtown (I cannot remember the name of it.)
STUDIO
I loved the space -- it had good energy and all the amenities (towels, toiletries, fridge, etc.) I needed for my 5-day business trip for the ATD Conference. There was plenty of space to practice yoga or to simply just relax and watch Apple TV.
Yes, it's noisy, but you're within the city limits, not beachside. I will say it's much less raucous than Gaslamp Quarter. The noise here is the car traffic. However, I slept very well during my 6-night stay. My one recommendation is to get a floor length mirror for the studio. I know that would've helped with my wardrobe planning for the Conference.
HOSTS
Ryan and Ian were great! I appreciate them letting me check in earlier. By doing so, I didn't have to drag my suitcase around the downtown corridor
They also provided great tips for vegan restaurants (there are plenty) and yoga studios in the neighborhood.
Overall, I'd recommend this studio to anyone looking for a central location to explore San Diego! When I visit San Diego again, I'd love to stay here again.
