We liked the apartment and building itself and it served its purpose for a quick weekend trip to San Diego. However, there were a number of issues which is why we wouldn’t stay here again.
While it is nice that it is located walking distance to Gaslamp, Petco stadium etc, the location isn’t great because of the homeless encampments all around. The check in/check out process is a lot more complicated than other typical airbnbs and you will get a lot of messages about ensuring you don’t mention that this is an Airbnb unit. There are additional fees for early check in and late check out even by an hour. There was a mixup with our parking permit which delayed our plans since we couldn’t leave our car there until the problem was fixed. The host was quick at communicating through Airbnb which was good. An unexpected added benefit was that the parking structure has EV charging but the host should clarify their instructions whether guests can leave their car there for charging.
Overall, while we liked the apartment and the building, we wouldn’t stay at this Airbnb again.
