Prior to check-in, Matt sent me all the information needed from getting into the building, where it would be best to park our car, to what the area was like. Fantastic communication.

The apartment is a studio apartment, but it was a great place for my friend and I to stay while we ventured out around San Diego. Very clean and had no problems during the stay.

The neighborhood was what was expected and very close to a variety of venues. Down the street was Gaslamp. 15-20 minutes out were places such Point Loma, La Jolla, Mission beach, and Pacific beach for beach lovers. Around 30 minutes, you could find well-known breweries like Stone and Ballast Point as well as great wineries around Escondido. There were homeless lingering around the building at times, but I would advise you not to stay downtown if that is a problem because San Diego has a homeless problem in general.

Overall, host communication, airbnb, and the location were all fantastic. First time staying downtown and it probably the best experience I've had on a trip to San Diego.
