I live in San Diego and was at the unit for 3.5 months while my house was being remodeled. I chose the Banker's Hill Studio because it is a very good neighborhood and a great location. It is walking distance from Balboa Park and a handful of good restaurants. There is a Starbucks just outside the lobby door. The unit faces the interior courtyard so it is quiet. There is a small outside space plus you can also hang out at the pool/Jacuzzi area. The unit is very efficiently set up - with a full kitchen, dining and sitting area and alcove area where the bed is. There is a large closet/storage room that really helps as you can keep your stuff put away. The host was very helpful and accommodating.
