It was a great place to stay for what we needed. We went to visit the San Diego zoo and were really there only to sleep. It was a nice place in the morning to get coffee since it has several different places walking distance near by.

Loved our stay here! The host is kind, responsive and respectful. It’s perfect for couples and we even brought our dog who loved it! It was only about a 10 minute walk to the beach with a lot of great coffee, restaurants and cafes near. Would definitely stay here again!

Hello! We enjoyed staying here as it was convenient and welcoming. One thing I would mention is the corrosion around the drain in the bathtub made it unappealing for a hot soak. The shower was a good alternative but as a person who likes a bath, I did miss that.

We had a great stay at this studio apartment! It was exactly what we needed! Clean, comfortable, and well set up for a short trip. The location was a huge plus, with easy access to different parts of San Diego and plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance, which made getting around super convenient.The only downside was that the neighbors could be a bit disruptive at times, but that’s obviously outside of the owner’s control.Overall, we had a really positive experience and would definitely recommend this place to others looking for a convenient and comfortable stay!

Lovely location! Walking distance to some cool spots, very short drive to sunset cliffs. No a/c but it’s not necessary at night, opening the windows was a luxury I missed! I would definitely stay here again.

Easy, convenient, clean and cute. Very small… only one chair to sit in, but we were mostly out and abut so it was fine. Excellent hosts… very responsive. Unit 1 is right next to the street, so street noise was apparent, but it quieted down by 10pm. My only ding is the instructions for check out… do the dishes; take out the trash, etc. if I’m paying a cleaning fee, I’m not going to do the cleaning!
