1629 Polk looked great when I picked it and proved even better once I stayed there. The studio is roomy and really nicely renovated. The neighborhood is great. A great Sprouts market is literally a minute walk away. A great coffeeshop, Big Front Door, is even closer. And if you're commuting anywhere in San Diego (which I have been) you're conveniently close to the 163 on-ramp, but far enough away that highway noise and exhaust are never an issue. I've liked it so much I just renewed for another month so apologies if I'm delaying your access.
