My husband and I spent 3 nights here. It is a studio apartment that has everything a traveler could possibly need. There is not a speck of dirt anywhere. It has a homey feel, comfortable queen size bed, well equipped kitchen, large bathroom with a wonderful walk in shower.
There is plenty of street parking directly in front of the unit. Neighborhood seems super safe and walkable. It is a short drive to Balboa Park with its wonderful zoo and other attractions. Also close to many restaurants.
The hosts have put together an informative helpful notebook of restaurants and things to do in the area.
I really cannot fathom why anyone would prefer a hotel / motel over staying here. I cannot say enough good things about this place.
The only con I can come up with is the airplane noise because it is close to San Diego airport. I always travel with a small white noise machine that blocks all sound so this was not an issue for us.
I am so grateful to have found this gem.
