The room was cute and the locations worked out well for us. The host was very responsive and helpful. We both hated the mattress. Would’ve nice to have a drip coffee maker not just the Keurig.

I stayed for 3 nights for work. The room was fabulous. Clean and cute. The bed was so comfortable! Check in was easy and even though there are no staff on site, they communicated well and responded fast. It was safe and quiet even though it was Halloween weekend and the streets were a party! I was able to walk to petco park in 8 minutes. I will definitely book here again when I’m back in San Diego.

Amazing place in a great area! Parking is a struggle but here is the cheat code! Instead of parking 40$+ overnight or paying 10$ per hour in downtown - park in neighborhoods then uber down for 11$.

Super cute, super clean, confusing communication

Room was cute and clean, easy to access, and quite charming, with a cute courtyard to relax in the evenings. Found the place quite easily thanks to the provided YouTube video, but the room I stayed in had no remote for the AC, and the check-in process was very confusing. I ended up standing in front of the door to my room calling and calling to get a code to "check-in," in spite of me completing the check-in form well before I arrived. Overall the room was comfortable and clean, the communication was challenging, and the check out instructions were incomplete (had to follow up asking about check-out guidelines). All in all I do recommend. To the owner, I recommend improving your check-in/communication process, as it current leaves a lot to be desired. Thanks for the great stay!

Great location, good stay overall.

Overall a solid 4.5 stay! The only issues I had was 1. There was a cockroach running around our room floor our last night 2. There does not seem to be consistent hot water. My partner and I had to take cold showers on Thursday at ~1AM and Friday at ~12AM. But overall, a comfortable, and clean room with good AC for the hot weather, and in a great location.

Wonderful place, and a shockingly good price compared to other places around. We were expecting a bedroom and ended up with a whole apartment, fully kitted out. Beautiful furnishings, secure building, and the instructions from the Artifact were easy to follow. Just a five minute walk from Petco Park, trolley stops, and the Convention Center. Lots of restaurants and cafes nearby.
