This was too expensive for what it is.. And what it was basically a motel with high parking rates and no daily cleaning service. I would have stayed in a cheaper motel if had known this -at least a motel would have been better stocked and there would have been a cleaning/room service built in to the expense.
Pros:
Very close to Balboa Park and Gas Lamp district
Fairly quiet despite the airplanes flying in just 300 ft over the building at a rate of 1 every 10 minutes.
Tv worked fine
Room was clean
Mini fridge worked
The host’s business partner was friendly
Cons:
Poorly stocked
No soap for the sink
No extra towels
No extra trash bags
Soap for shower ran out after 1 day (only my wife had used it -i had brought my own)
Only 1 nightstand because the bed has a fold out but is tiny (how many people are they allowing to cram in that studio space with at setup!)
Bed was not very comfortable
Conflicting information about parking rates in the written instructions versus messages directly from host. It’s clear since it’s a motel situation they work from an email script that is outdated. Host charges 30$ per-day and written instruction claim 20$ per day. They assign you parking spot but i found that it’s not enforced as someone took our spot on the second day and had to message host late in case there were ramifications to other guests.
Access to the unit was very confusing because on the 1st floor, there were doors marked as single unit numbers and there is no visible elevator or stairway to units on 2nd and third floors. The stairwells are all Internal stairwells behind the doors that appear to just be regular units at first.
The area is very close the park but there was a fair amount of homeless encampments and didn’t seem super safe for walks after sundown.
Won’t be back
