About this property

Swanky Loft- Across the street from Balboa Park & Zoo, Little Italy & Petco Park

Welcome to The LUXE Loft, a cozy and stylish retreat in the heart of San Diego. Located in a beautifully restored 1933 building that once served as a commercial furniture warehouse, this loft offers a warm blend of historic character and modern comfort.

Step outside and you’re directly across from Balboa Park, making it easy to enjoy peaceful walks, museums, and gardens. Petco Park, the Gaslamp Quarter, and the Rady Shell outdoor concert venue are just minutes away. Little Italy is an easy stroll for great food and coffee, and the beaches are a short drive in any direction.

Whether you’re in town for a concert, a game, or a quiet getaway, The LUXE Loft is a comfortable place to relax and feel at home while staying close to everything San Diego has to offer.

Other things to note:

The loft comfortably accommodates up to four guests.

For two guests, one bed is typically provided, as most guests share.
For three or four guests, an additional queen bed is available upon request.

Please let us know at least 24 hours before arrival if you’d like the additional bed prepared. A $30 setup fee applies and includes fresh linens and housekeeping preparation prior to check-in.

If you want, I can make it even shorter, add a homey opening line, or adjust it slightly toward romantic, family-friendly, or business traveler vibes.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Cute loft, very clean and within walking distance of CVS, several restaurants, the zoo, and Petco Park. About a 15 minute uber ride to lots of great beaches! I would suggest a sleeping mask if you like it dark to sleep at night because it is bright from the street lights at night. We had a great time!

The location was very close to Balboa Park. The inside of the unit was very clean and well stocked. Communication with the host was easy and efficient. There were some displaced individuals who were living outside, was grateful they had a camera. Definitely didn't feel safe going outside by myself.

About the host

Hosted by William

Host profile image
I’m originally from Central California and have always loved being outdoors, which makes beautiful San Diego the perfect place to call home. I enjoy meeting new people and sharing the best of the city with them, whether it’s local spots, hidden gems, or favorite views. I’m friendly, outgoing, and love to travel myself, so I understand what makes a stay comfortable, memorable, and fun. Being a host allows me to connect with guests from all over the world and help them enjoy San Diego as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is vibrant and walkable, with Balboa Park’s gardens and museums just across the street, Little Italy’s restaurants and cafes a short stroll away, and Petco Park and the Rady Shell concert venue just minutes from the loft. What I enjoy most is the perfect balance of lively city energy and peaceful spots to relax, making it easy to explore, dine, and unwind all in one area.

What makes this property unique

What makes this loft special is the combination of location, character, and comfort. The building dates back to 1933 and has a unique industrial charm that’s hard to find in newer properties, while the interior has been thoughtfully updated to feel warm, modern, and inviting.

Its walkable location truly sets it apart. Being directly across from Balboa Park allows guests to step outside and enjoy green space, museums, and peaceful walks—something that’s rare for a centrally located San Diego stay. From here, it’s easy to walk to Little Italy and quickly reach Petco Park, the Gaslamp Quarter, and the Rady Shell concert venue.

Unlike many downtown listings, the loft offers a comfortable, home-like atmosphere rather than a hotel feel. It’s a relaxing place to return to after a full day of exploring, attending a concert or game, or enjoying the city.
