This apartment was in a great location—close to Balboa Park, Gaslamp, Ocean Beach, etc. It was a bit smaller than expected, but perfect just for me. Would probably get a bit crowded with more than 2-3 people. It seemed like an older apartment, but they did a great job with the space they had—it was very stylish and chic.
They didn’t have more than the basic necessities, which was fine for me. They were out of dish soap, but one of the hosts was kind to drop some off on the first day.
There were some small cleanliness issues like cobwebs on the windows, and some dust/dirt on the kitchen surfaces. Nothing too noticeable.
The only thing I would say is that if you’re sensitive to noise, bring some earplugs. The walls are thin, so you can hear people in the other apartments if they’re loud. They seem to all be Airbnb’s, so there were a couple of loud groups. Also, the entrance door (right under this unit) slams very loudly when people come in and out. The apartment is close to the freeway, which is convenient but adds to the noise, and you can also hear planes overheard as it’s fairly close to the airport.
Overall enjoyed my stay, and the hosts were great!
