The view is just as great as pictured; as others mentioned, walls are a bit scratched up, carpet is also a little dirty, and the window is dirty. BUT location is phenomenal with only 10 mins from Coronado and 3 mins from Balboa Park!! The place had great amenities from bathroom supplies to kitchen supplies. Check in was instructed very clearly though it could be difficult for some. Overall, the host was an amazing communicator and I greatly enjoyed my stay! Thank you STRIV!
