The unit is fabulous, as shown in the photos, and the hosts are quick to respond to any inquiries. They arranged parking for us and it is super close to transit (buses and light rail) as well! It's within walking distance of the Gaslamp District and the East Village, and a short drive to Balboa Park and Little Italy. There are a few homeless folk around, as noted in the description, but they keep to themselves and didn't cause any issues. All in all we loved the unit and the location!
The actual room was top notch! A lovely place that was really well maintained. The owners were very flexible, very nice, and communicated effectively. I can’t say enough great things about the actual place. Saying that, the neighborhood is very sketchy, there are a LOT of homeless people that appear to be actively on drugs. Just beware. Again, the actual room was very nice and the hosts were amazing!

Great experience!
I had an excellent experience staying in this apartment for 4 days. I was in the area for a conference; the apartment was a convenient walk to the San Diego Convention Center and Gaslamp District. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. I reached out when my flight landed early and they were very accommodating, allowing me to store my luggage in a secure room prior to check in. The room was clean, spacious, and newly renovated; the bed was very comfortable. The laundry room was also very convenient. Overall, would definitely recommend!
This property will be the reason my wife and I book hotels from here on out after years of booking VRBO stays. We asked if we could check in early via the app and were quickly sent entry instructions. When we entered the building, the entire hall smelt like marijuana and urine. We typed in the code and we’re surprised to find a family still there who were never told. They kindly packed up early and we texted the property and they were immediately defensive. We decided we’d just keep our bags in the apartment until the cleaners came, but upon entry, the entire place reaked and my wife has an allergy and couldn’t stay. We tried to open the window and the entire blind fell off the wall. We again messaged our contact explaining medically, we could not stay there and again, we were met with defensiveness and he refused to assist in anyway (all he’d have to do is go to the property to confirm the smell and overall state). We walked down the street and checked in to a hotel… and tried again to find a solution but they still refused to acknowledge or deal with any of the issues.
Recommend looking elsewhere as this whole experience was terrible and again… the reason we’re official done with VRBO and property management companies who do not care about their property/guests.
