Love this place! Walking distance a plus for us because we went to see the Padres game. Grocery store was across the street and the view of the city was beautiful. The communication was also great. I will definitely be staying here again.

#### Fun stay in San Diego
We loved the location and the place was very clean and well set up. The hosts are very communicative and responsive. Our family would definitely stay here again, within walking distance to a couple of nice restaurants and bars although it is downtown so you'll see the usual panhandlers etc which didn't really bother us.

#### Great gem
We were super happy with our stay in San Diego. The apartment had everything we needed. The staff was attentive, always responding to our requests in a timely manner, and with a helpful attitude. Would stay here again. The location was quick ride to Convention Center where our event was. Knock of 1 point for homeless problem - nothing they can do about that, though.

#### Incredible place to stay
Huge apartment--very new and clean, even bigger/better than pictures. Wonderful bathroom, walk-in closet with large bed, and huge kitchen that was stocked with everything needed. The owners communicated quickly and checked in before and after the stay. The grocery store directly across the street had everything needed. There are homeless around the area as well as a fair amount of construction across the street; however, I never felt unsafe (single woman, walking to/from early/late for a conference). I would definitely stay there again!

Host was amazing and super responsive. Neighborhood wasn’t great but we knew that from the listing description and that didn ’t matter to us. Smart n final right across the street. Close to Gaslamp and just a short uber ride away to area attractions. Will definitely stay here again on future trips.

#### Very comfortable and accommodating!
Instructions provided to get access the property were very thorough and easy to follow. Property was portrayed exactly as it was. Very clean, roomy/spacious! Clean towels, plates, silverware dishwasher and even a laundry area! Which, having a 10 mo old baby we immediately put to good use! Parking was plentiful and had no issue finding a space in the lot next door. The only issue was the area/location. Lots of homeless all over, but this is a very minor gripe as the benefit is you're 5 min from everything! The hosts were incredibly easy to reach and fast to respond! Would not have any issues staying here again!
