Convenient Studio w/ Queen bed - Prime Location in Little Italy!
Hi! Thanks for your interest in our space. This is an awesome studio apartment for 1-2 people who want something affordable and walkable to many restaurants/bars, and the waterfront. Please read the full description for a better understanding of the space and a few things to keep in mind before booking.
This is a ground floor studio apartment, 2 blocks away from central Little Italy with a kitchenette (no full kitchen) - very similar to a hotel room. Please note that the unit is on the ground floor, there is no designated parking space, and the door opens to the sidewalk, so you will hear normal city noise of passerby’s, cars, plus occasional footsteps from upstairs. If you’re looking for something affordable, walkable to Little Italy, Waterfront Park, Convention Center, with comfortable basic amenities, this is an excellent studio apartment! If you’re someone who would be more comfortable in a hotel, won’t sleep well with city noise, or is uncomfortable being so close to the street, this may not be the place for you.
Just a quick stroll to the famous Little Italy, or popular attractions like Waterfront Park and Embarcadero. Convenience store and coffee around the corner. Very close to the airport, Convention Center, Gaslamp, Hillcrest, Balboa Park, Coronado, Petco Park.
Amenities: Keypad entry, 24 hr check-in, A/C, Refrigerator, Coffee station, Apple TV, comfortable King mattress, brand new linens & pillows from West Elm.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Pros-super convenient and central-comfortable and not too big or small-tv with appletv that you can easily sign into-coffee maker and fridge-usually street parking right in front (2.50/hr, 8am-8pm/free overnight)-good communication with host-super easy check in and check out-looks exactly like listingCons-not enough pillows-only forks and knives but no spoons-Cups/mugs were dirty-only two very flat pillows definitely bring your own-not a lot of natural light in the apartment without having to show the whole world your business-no free parking-no microwave
Great little place to crash for the weekend while we attended a festival at petco park. We walked to the trolley which dropped us right off at the park. Eating places within walking distance as well. Would stay here again
The place was beautiful and perfect for our stay.Thank you to ian and getting back to us in need of checking in a few days earlier.

It's a clean and spacious room. The location is nice convenient --- in the Little Italy region and close to the train station. Great value for the price.
I very much enjoyed my stay, there was a small bug issue but nothing to bothersome. Great stay!

The room has a TV that would not work and there were no written instructions on how to use the different remotes and after speaking with the host it turns out that somethings wrong as there’s no signal, but I had no TV for the four days that I was there. Believe it or not there were no drawers to place clothes in or closet. The host left one hanger that’s it. There was a lamp on the desk and no instructions on how to use it. There was no switch or turning thing it turns out you have to touch the bottom of the lamp, but I did not know that. In adequate towels, there was no hand towels or washcloths.The bed was fair a little soft, not extremely comfortable.

Hello everyone reading this,
I just want to make it clear that I did my absolute best to accommodate Alan during his stay. He was rude right off the bat and extremely demanding. I was quick to answer his texts and even called him to walk him through check in, how to use the desk lamp, as well as the TV. The TV was not broken - Alan just couldn't figure out how to use the Apple TV, even after I spent time on the phone with him. I had extra paper towels delivered as soon as he asked for them. Everything was as described in the listing and I tried my best to make his stay comfortable as I do for every guest. Thanks for staying Alan, I encourage you to read about the listings and communicate respectfully to other hosts in the future.
While the location was great, I would not return as the amount of care given to this studio was bare basic. 2 towels total for 2 guests staying 5 nights, no light fixtures in bathroom but bare bulbs. Privacy film was peeling off the windows in the bathroom and the shower rod was rusted. No spoon to stir coffee, no creamer or sugar. The street noise was not a problem for us. We paid for parking rather than deal with the hassle of finding a spot. The tv was difficult to figure out as no direction was given in the book rules. There were 2 plants and they were both bone dry, and the hanging plant was dying. I watered both plants.

Pictures much better than the actual unit. Very dated and cheap furniture.
We were able to walk everywhere from here, very close to all of Little Italy and not far from the Gaslamp District. Lots of reviews about the street noise, just wear earplugs.
I had a great stay. The apartment was clean and super cute and close to everything, a short walk or a short ride away. I would definitely stay here again!
I was visiting San Diego for an event at the convention center and this place was a great location to walk to the convention center, the gas lamp district, and balboa park! Very clean & cozy spot!

Great location, very central and close to shops and restaurants. However, the apartment is quite dark, the bed was too soft and uncomfortable, and the Wi-Fi was unreliable—I had trouble with video calls. With a few improvements, it could be a much better stay.
