Overall, it was a very nice stay. This was our first trip back to San Diego since moving prior to the pandemic and it was nice to have our own space.
Pros:
1. Location- short walk to zoo and Balboa Park
2. Space- 2 separate bedrooms were a plus (queen bed was especially comfortable)
3. It was clean and I liked that there weren't a million instructions for how to leave the place (I have stayed at several Airbnb's where there is a long list of instructions on cleaning and made we wonder what the cleaning fee actually pays for?)
4. Overall would stay there again (especially if it were a less busy time of year)
Cons:
1. Parking- It was terrible on Friday and Saturday night. Friday night took ~30 minutes to find a space. Saturday night- It took nearly an hour and we didn't even fit fully in the space. I know it was a busy weekend for Hillcrest, but honestly, we couldn't even find paid overnight parking nearby.
2. Noise- Friday night the downstairs neighbors were up until ~4am talking outside. Other nights were fine, but we didn't get any sleep that night.
3. It was warm. There is a window a/c unit, but it doesn't do much for the bedrooms at night. It wasn't all that hot when we were there, but it was warm in the bedrooms. I am glad we weren't there when SD can be having a warmer weather. We had the windows open, but did not help much.
