This was a great place to stay in San Diego.
You can’t beat the location. It’s only about a 15-minute walk to the University of San Diego campus, a 5-minute drive to Old Town, and a 15-minute drive to Balboa Park.
The neighborhood was quiet and friendly — when we arrived, a neighbor offered us a bowl of fresh cherry tomatoes from her garden. As promised, there was plenty of street parking in the immediate vicinity of the unit, so the lack of an assigned spot was no problem.
The unit had a lot of great touches, including a pack ‘n play that saved us from paying to check our own for our 2-year-old. Jimmy even included a few blankets and a sheet for the pack ‘n play, which was so thoughtful.
There was plenty of bedding on the bed as well as stashed around the unit in case someone wanted to sleep on the air mattress or couch. And the pillows were nice and supportive, which isn’t always the case when you stay at an Airbnb or hotel.
The one issue we had was with noise from the upstairs unit. My toddler and I were woken up in the middle of the night several times from the noise of people walking around, pulling out chairs, or dropping things upstairs. It’s probably only an issue if you’re a light sleeper. My husband never woke up!
Again, this is a great place to stay, and Jimmy was an excellent host — very friendly and communicative.
