Excellent location! We live in the suburbs w two teenagers so having the opportunity to experience downtown living was fun to us. We were unsure of the homeless population, but honestly they didn’t bother anyone and we never felt unsafe. Having a garage was a lifesaver as street parking can be tricky.
Our hosts were highly responsive and we will book again next time we come to SD. The only cons were no hot water in downstairs shower so we all had to share upstairs. No frying pan (we bought eggs to cook, without checking for one first, we just assumed). It’s kind of noisy, but it added to the ambience and you’re quite literally downtown so one can’t expect solitude.
I asked if there was a broom and trash bags so we could clean after ourselves, but the host said not to worry about it and that housekeepers would clean.
It is a 3 story home, so if you have issues climbing stairs this might not work for you. We LOVED the space as it is beautifully decorated and a really unique space. It looks exactly like the pictures. We are all looking forward to returning!
