We had a fantastic stay! The apt was clean and as described (felt very much like a high-end hotel). It is in the flight path, but the windows provide great sound proofing and we could barely hear them when we were inside with the windows closed. We were able to find free street parking. However, I could very easily see the street filling up during certain times, so I wouldn’t count on being able to always find free parking. If you 100% need parking (or if you’re concerned about your car), you might want to pay for the garage parking ($30/day). Be aware that there’s no elevator and several flights of stairs to get to the apt. Also, the apt is very close to downtown, and sadly SD doesn’t take very good care of the downtown area (expect to see trash, dilapidated buildings, and homeless folks in the surrounding areas). Fir, the host, was communicative and very helpful. The view was amazing! It was very fun to be able to walk across the street and enter Balboa Park. We would stay again!
