Lucia is a great and responsive host. The location is perfect if you are looking for something central and near a local iconic area as well as public transportation. Old town is a less than a five minutes walk to restaurants, parks, and history. The old town transit stop is a 10-15 minutes walk which can get you to any part of SD. The building is near the freeway which can have loud traffic noise for those who are light sleepers. The walls are thin as well in this particular building. We had a minor issue in the morning and Lucia was quick to respond.
The studio itself is cute and is as pictured. The unit we are in is small but they have made good use of space which make it feels homey. We had a nice time making dinner and played a board game as well as doing a morning walk through old town. There are all the things needed to make you feel at home.
