Amazing Studio, well located centrally in San Diego. Friendly and helpful staff that responded quickly to my inquiries. Unlike some other comments, the area felt very safe, even for a solo female traveler (some homelessness is normal in Californian cities). Would love to stay there for long-term. Overall a great experience and definitely worth visiting.

The loud airplane noise, but the glazing when closed eliminated the worst of it.

Lack of elevator was the only minor drawback.

Decent sized room in a good location with all amenities nearby. Clean and cozy, friendly host and good parking facility. Check in process was super easy and good communication by the host. Super close to San Diego zoo, Balboa Park and downtown.

Shower was not very powerful.

Lovely little apartment located just beside Balboa park. Clean and well presented. Great value for money. Liked the keyless door entry system.

There is a huge park to see. You see disturbed folks sleeping on the sidewalk.

Good amenities, coffee and tea was wholesome.

Didn't love the shower head (if you have long or thick hair it could take some time)!

Place was very clean, check-in was super easy and communication rather speedy. Location-wise it was super convenient and right under Balboa park!

There is no lift, so had to climb up and down at least 3 flights of stairs since my unit happens to be on the 3rd floor. While it is good exercise, it can be daunting especially when you are already so exhausted having expended your energy walking all day. I didn’t mind the sound of airplanes landing since they provided ear plugs. Most times, I was already so tired by the time I get back to my studio and slept soundly.

It’s location was excellent, with a fantastic view of Balboa Park. So, I have a fantastic view of the sunrise every morning. The bird calls early morning and watching the changing colour palette as the sun is coming up every morning was so therapeutic and breathtaking - simply awesome! It is also quite centrally located - the Downtown area and historic Gaslamp district is also within walking distance. If you persevere, you can even walk all the way to the Seaport Village and the marina promenade. Just make sure you put on good walking shoes. There are many eateries along the way to quench your thirst and satisfy your appetite. If your are lucky, a DJ may also be on duty spinning cool tunes at some of the open bars along the marina. Even my friend who has settled in San Diego with his family mentioned that the studio apartment is in a good location. The staff at the apartment complex is also very helpful, so makes you feel at home.

Location did not feel very safe and the uber driver said not to walk around at night. No lift to 3rd floor and thin walls too.

Room was pleasant. Staff were friendly. Secure parking at cost and property access with coded gates. It was a bit prison like going in but I was greatful for this!

The amount of trash around the area and dead animal smell from the squirrel that had died around the corner. The neighbor was really loud screaming out the window early in the morning. There was lots of homeless people camping out at the park where you can park your car but it didn’t really feel safe to leave it anywhere. Also didn’t like that it upcharges per guest. I should’ve just stayed at a hotel. Parking in the metered areas is also pricey but no where felt safe to leave the car. Parking garage in front of property isn’t even open because it looked like homeless people had taken over. Check out instructions were provided hours after I had departed the property.

Cutlery is provided.

Very noisy. No free park. No elevator

The bed was too small. The surrounding area didn’t feel the safest with quite a few homeless around. We also didn’t realise there would be so many flights of stairs to climb with all our bags.

Easy parking and helpful staff. We appreciated being able to check in early. Room was nice and clean and we felt safe once we had entered the gated property.

Have to walk over the highway to get anywhere. The planes were incredibly loud passing all day from 5 am to midnight. We couldn’t keep the window/door open if we were watching tv or trying to sleep. The blinds were also very bad and kept letting in the light.

Short walking distance to the zoo, gaslamp district and little Italy. Balcony was pleasant
