Exactly as advertised--clean, friendly staff, and spacious. There is the addition of being directly underneath the flight path so if you're sensitive to noise, then you may want to bring a white noise machine or request a fan to drown out the noise. You can also hear noise from the street surrounding the apartment building. The balcony door doesn't have a shade and is inoperable (you use the sliding doors to go out onto the balcony). It would have been helpful to know this in advance. Lastly, if your destination is downtown San Diego, this is a bit of a walk, increasing in unpleasantness as the day progresses into night, especially if you're not accustomed to walking long distances in an urban environment. All in all, I would stay here again if my destination were not the convention center downtown.
