This apartment was a good value for our needs, but there were a couple of things I would have liked to have had in the description before choosing to book. First, although the description says it sleeps 12, I would say it only sleeps 10 comfortably, and that includes using the couch for 2 people. We had 12 in our party and we had two kids sleeping in parents' beds as well as one adult and one child on the couch. The bunk beds are doubles, but most adults or big kids would not be comfortable sharing a double with someone else. Bringing an air mattress would have worked out and helped a lot in our case. The second issue was that there was not a working air conditioner. The weather in San Diego is decent and didn't get above mid 70's, but as an older, second floor apartment, it got pretty warm inside in the evenings and with all windows open it took a while to cool down. This was aggravated by the fact that many of the windows would simply not stay open. There are a few fans that help somewhat. The location is convenient-- minutes from the zoo and balboa park-- but the traffic noise was bothersome for some (with the windows open). All in all, I don't think we could have found a better price to be able to sleep that many people in San Diego, and it had all the amenities we needed (cooking utensils, dishes, soap, shampoo and conditioner, enough towels, etc). Hopefully this helps you decide whether this place is right for you. If you go to the zoo with kids in the summer, be sure to hit up the new splash pad and play areas (close to the reptile house and skyfari).
