Gotta love a commitment to a theme! Ed goes all-in with the 007 stuff, and it’s a lot of fun. He manages not to reveal all of the secrets on the posting too, so you have some fun surprises on arrival!
The building is nice and the outdoor courtyard downstairs is a lovely place to have some morning coffee if it’s not too chilly. The studio is small and does not have much natural light; bathroom is also small, but it has a nice updated shower.
The area wasn’t our favorite in terms of nightlife, but it seemed safe enough and was just a short (15-minute walk) from Little Italy, which we would highly recommend making your way to! It’s also just a few blocks from the Southwest entrance to Balboa Park, excellent for walking/running/hiking/biking.
Overall, a great value for the price paid. We would certainly recommend for travelers looking for an affordable place to make their home-base while exploring San Diego.
