The space was lovely and the host was very quick to respond to messages. They had office hours on property which was helpful. It is conveniently located. It was up two sets of stairs which I wasn't aware of when I rented it. It wasn't a problem for us but could be for some people.

The place had everything I needed: coffee and tea for me to make, a tv for me to stream my shows the one night I decided to stay in, a small toothpaste and toothbrush (especially great since I left my toothpaste home!), a perfect view of Balboa Park…I couldn’t have asked for better!

The room was nice and clean. But a little small. However, it worked well for us except for the lack of a kitchen.The hosts were very nice and accomodating. We did use the gated parking and with that and the rest of the facility, we felt very safe and secure. Overall, we were happy with our stay.

Can’t say enough about how great this place is…great location. Yes, on a busy street and in the flight path but there is a curfew on incoming planes between 11:30 pm and 6:30 am. Didn’t bother me at all.

Perfect for a short visit to Balboa Park museums and gardens. Room was great, location was convenient to Balboa Park. Staff were helpful. Area is filled with homeless people, so that is something to consider. All of the parking in the area is metered and short-term, so you need to get the parking spot in the garage.

I enjoyed my stay and think this is a solid option for a solo traveler or couple looking for a place to stay while exploring San Diego.The location was great, being only a block or two away from Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo, which made it easy to get around and explore. The studio had the basic amenities I needed including a mini fridge, bathroom, and coffee/tea provided.One thing to note is that it is close to the airport, so you will hear planes flying overhead. Ear plugs were provided though, which I appreciated, especially for lighter sleepers.During my stay, I did notice some stains on the futon cover, some harder stains/residue on the floor that I ended up cleaning myself, and some noticeable scuff marks on the walls. Besides from those things, my experience overall was positive.If you’re looking for a simple place to stay in a convenient location and mainly need a comfortable place to sleep and explore from, this is a reasonable option.
