This unit is in a very convenient spot to access Balboa park and anything in the downtown/gaslamp district area. It was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. I believe the unit is part of a building(s) entirely dedicated to short term stays/airbnb, which does contribute to the larger systemic housing crisis in big cities like San Diego - however, that's not a detractor from the unit itself. Just be aware that there are both pros (well managed as it's their job) and cons (strict with things like check out times and will charge extra for each hour) to staying with a management co vs a single person who does airbnb on the side. The unit does require you to walk up a couple flights of stairs which was not an issue for me, but may be for those who otherwise would require an elevator for yourself/heavy bags.
