A quiet neighborhood that is close to the beach and restaurants. Beautiful neighborhood. Roomy accommodations with living room, kitchen, dining area and bed and bath. Nice retro style. A true gem.

Horrible Blinds for Privacy

The place is quite quaint, but the blinds are terrible. You don't have full privacy, because the blinds show the outside from each sides of the windows and people can see in. It smells like my grandma's house, vintage kinda smell. It was clean tho but very dated.

Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Gave us few tips about the area. We really feel welcomed. I would have given them a five star if not for the shower valve. It was so hard to even switch from shower to faucet. Also, had a hard time figuring out how to set the temperature of the water in the shower. Other than that, we loved the place.

Good location and spacious unit

The room was comfortable. Great little apartment with sofa, chair, small kitchen, table and back bedroom. The tub was a little slippery and the drain would back up so we were standing in water while showering. Overall though, great place to stay and walkable to the beach, dining, and shops.

We arrived for late check in. There was a box with a phone. We called and were given a code to retrieve our key from a box. We let ourselves into our room, entered all the way past the living area and kitchen to the bedroom before realizing it was occupied -- with personal items on the bed, thankfully whoever's room it was was away! Back to the phone we were directed to another locked box with a code to find a master key to let ourselves into the room next door. It had a broken blind, low quality - hard and uncomfortable pillows, crappy bed with questionable bedding. A handicap room -- the shower was wheelchair accessible, but the shower curtain didn't reach the floor so water got all over the bathroom -- not safe for anyone. And worse, there was a bunch of hair left behind from someone else in the shower! We were uncomfortable, and felt unsafe all night. In hindsight should have left and found something else. Overall an outdated and "cheap" dirty motel. An overall horrible experience!

Excellent place. Second time stay. All is great but it doesn't have a USB charger outlet. It really should get this upgrade. Last time i brought my own, this time i didn't. So i turned off the phone to save battery !

Homie and clean. ❤️ Location

I was impressed on how great and quiet the location was. Close to very good restaurants and the beach. Parking in the street was easy. Staff was super friendly and kind. The kitchen had everything that you need but we did not even used it as we stayed only one night as we will drive north. We will definitely come back again and stay at the same place if we are ever in San Diego again.
