It’s location was excellent, with a fantastic view of Balboa Park. So, I have a fantastic view of the sunrise every morning. The bird calls early morning and watching the changing colour palette as the sun is coming up every morning was so therapeutic and breathtaking - simply awesome! It is also quite centrally located - the Downtown area and historic Gaslamp district is also within walking distance. If you persevere, you can even walk all the way to the Seaport Village and the marina promenade. Just make sure you put on good walking shoes. There are many eateries along the way to quench your thirst and satisfy your appetite. If your are lucky, a DJ may also be on duty spinning cool tunes at some of the open bars along the marina. Even my friend who has settled in San Diego with his family mentioned that the studio apartment is in a good location. The staff at the apartment complex is also very helpful, so makes you feel at home.

There is no lift, so had to climb up and down at least 3 flights of stairs since my unit happens to be on the 3rd floor. While it is good exercise, it can be daunting especially when you are already so exhausted having expended your energy walking all day. I didn’t mind the sound of airplanes landing since they provided ear plugs. Most times, I was already so tired by the time I get back to my studio and slept soundly.

I had a great stay ! The room was comfortable for one person, and could work for two as well. The instructions for getting to the room and finding the location were clear and easy to follow. The place was clean and well-maintained. Plus, the location was perfect—close to everything I needed. Would definitely recommend!

Decent sized room in a good location with all amenities nearby. Clean and cozy, friendly host and good parking facility. Check in process was super easy and good communication by the host. Super close to San Diego zoo, Balboa Park and downtown.

Lack of elevator was the only minor drawback.

Room was pleasant. Staff were friendly. Secure parking at cost and property access with coded gates. It was a bit prison like going in but I was greatful for this!

Location did not feel very safe and the uber driver said not to walk around at night. No lift to 3rd floor and thin walls too.

Place was very clean, check-in was super easy and communication rather speedy. Location-wise it was super convenient and right under Balboa park!

Didn't love the shower head (if you have long or thick hair it could take some time)!

Lovely little apartment located just beside Balboa park. Clean and well presented. Great value for money. Liked the keyless door entry system.

Shower was not very powerful.

Property was clean and plenty of security options with multiple door locks and owner watching over property with many cameras.

Location. Out of our control, but had airplanes constantly flying over and a few minutes from a freeway exit.
