The floors were slightly dirty, but we brought our own slippers so it was okay.

We managed to secure free parking outside the apartment, which was slightly up the road but still visible from the apartment! The bed was comfy and clean. The laundry facilities were reasonably priced ($2 for washing and $1.50 for tumble drying); however you need to bring your own detergent. The location of the apartment is very central, right next to the Balboa Park.

• WiFi didn’t work in the room • Management was unhelpful and dismissive • Only received automatic replies, no real assistance

Great location • Spacious and comfortable apartment • Very clea

If you can’t block out the sound of planes flying overhead as they approach SD airport, this place may not be for you. If you are vacationing you probably will be out and about most of the day and night and it shouldn’t be a problem.

Unit directly across the street from Balboa Park.

WiFII, lack of free parking.

Location, price and it was a nice apartment

Stayed in March 2025

Not an issue for me as I’m used to unhoused people but something to be aware of is there are quite a few around the surrounding blocks but it’s something you can’t avoid in a lot of parts of SD and of course nothing the property can do about it.

Location is super handy for getting around - you can walk Downtown, Balboa Park, to Seaport Village, Little Italy. I needed to be close to Bankers Hill as well so location was ideal. Perfect setup for solo travel - the place would work well for a couple as well, relatively spacious with basic kitchen amenities meaning you don’t have to eat out all the time. The guys managing on site were also available to assist quickly. And you do feel safe with the security gates around the building.

The area has a few unhoused individuals that linger around, but they mostly keep to themselves. Just remain vigilant and of course, don't leave valuables in your car.

Great central location: easy walk to Balboa Park or Little Italy and close to highway ramp. Although there is no parking included in the unit, there is ample free street parking within a block. Spacious unit for 2 people. The wide bed was a nice touch!

Comfy beds. Clean and spacious. The host is extra accommodative with requests. 😊

Wish there could have been a bathroom counter, and more than one towel bar in the bathroom. Although Little Italy is only a half a mile away the return up hill walk is very strenuous.

The apartment was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Free street parking was across the street and it's located next to Balboa Park.

There were hairs next to toilet that made me feel like place hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly. Walls are thin which means you’ll hear not only the planes departing but the neighbors as well. Check out time at 10 am seems early compared to most 11 AM check out at hotels.

The proximity off the highway and to airport. The location next to Balboa. The size of the place. It’s also a short walk to little Italy. It’s an apartment style although I didn’t check if it was fully equipped.

See above.

Staff was helpful. My husband uses a walker and we had no idea that the apartment does not have an elevator, but is a walk up and we were on the 3rd floor. Staff helped us out upon arrival and when leaving. This was appreciated.

You can hear EVERYTHING, hallway stairs, people talking , footsteps, tv, having sex… heard it all. Earplugs provided but still heard it all

Location was amazing

Stayed in June 2025

It was somewhat clean but the furniture in there is gross. The couch in the seating area has lots of stains. I did not feel comfortable sitting on it. Also its very loud. Not due to the planes but the walls are thin and you can hear your neighbors. We were the third floor and could hear loud stomping that woke us up.

The location.

Basically everything. Had to walk up about 50 STEPS with my luggage and without assistance which the property does not disclose in the description. See description photos. I looked everywhere on the Booking.com listing and nowhere does it say you have to climb steps. They do not disclose this until they email you AFTER you make the non refundable booking. Communication - I asked for help days in advance to take my suitcase downstairs when I checked out. I am a single female solo traveler and taking my luggage up and down 50 steps is very difficult with my health issues. They said, sure, no problem. I reminded them the day before and again the morning of. I was told to remind them again right at checkout which I did. No one responded and no one came. I had to walk down 50 steps to go to the office for help, back up 50 steps, and back down 50 steps again, even though I’d asked for help three times. Kitchen sink was useless. See above. “Cleaning” was nonexistent. They definitely don’t change the sheets between guests. I have very short hair and there was a super long hair in my bed that was not mine. Another super long hair stuck to the side of the toilet. See photos. Location was super sketchy. Homeless people and trash all around, urine smell right outside, abandoned building just behind this one, didn’t feel safe. In the airport path so super loud airplanes. Walkable to the edge of downtown but not to any location of import. Certainly not to Little Italy or anywhere else other reviewers said. Walkable to the edge of Balboa Park but a substantial walk to get to the action (museums, gardens, zoo, etc.) Building not maintained well. See photo of broken floor on step. Paper thin walls and ceilings. I could hear everything around me, including an upstairs neighbor who sounded like s/he was marching around loudly late at night. It was beyond crazy. AWFUL pillows killed my neck. I’m going to have to pay a professional to put my neck/shoulders together again.

Not much. Decor looked as advertised. Convenient to have fridge and microwave but kitchen sink was useless. Tiny sink, no hot water, no way to dry anything, no soap.

wish there was easier access to parking beyond metered parking.

i liked the privacy of the different floors/hallways for each room. the proximity to downtown and other places of convenience.

Great location. Easy walking to Little Italy, downtown and Balboa park. Loved the little balcony.Anytime I had a question or needed anything, they were quick to respond and take care of it!

No elevator, so if your in a “C” apt., you are on the third floor, (A,B on 1 and 2 respectively, etc., and you don’t know your assigned apt. until your arrival or at least, I didn’t.

King size bed with great comfortable mattress. A full size living room was spacious. My apartment was very clean and the apt. looked new!! Good shower, 5 minutes from the San Diego zoo by Uber. On the corner of the biggest park in San Diego(Balboa Park).Seems to be 10 minutes from all, baseball stadium, airport, etc.

Was advertised as a one bedroom but there is no bedroom. Run down and pretty disappointed with the whole experience. Fan didn't work in the bathroom, TV was mounted crooked, marks/scrapes all over the walls including some blood marks.
