I had a wonderful stay at Matt's place. It was a small studio apartment, but it had everything I needed, including A/C! The space was very efficiently organized, and I felt like it was much more spacious than it actually was. I had no issues at all during my entire stay. People staying/living in the building were very considerate and I rarely, if ever, heard noises from the neighbors. Although the place was right on the trolley line, the trolley sound did not bother me much. You really get used to it.
The location was perfect. Very close to a trolley stop (if you use public transportation). Close to the central part of the city, and close to the ocean. I went running every day to the boardwalk, which was only a few blocks away. I think this is one of the best areas in San Diego. The boardwalk stretches all the way to Little Italy and beyond. Absolutely lovely area.
BTW, I am not sure if it was in the listing/description, but there were surveillance cameras in the building, in the hallways. Something to keep in mind when you book this place.
