It has everything you need within walking distance without a car, just as I wanted. My only quibble is that it did not note that there is a big step up to the bathroom which might be a challenge for some people. Otherwise, it had everything I needed and was comfortable when I was "rained in", which does happen in San Diego at times. ##### Barbara B. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cj M.

The location of the studio apartment is absolutely perfect. We walked all over Balboa Park, we walked to tons of different spots for food, coffee, and entertainment. And it was so lovely to see so many people like us walking around (wonderful queer folk). We felt safe, we were able to completely disconnect from work, and we are already planning another trip back. ##### Ace T. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John O.

Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marissa Jun 18, 2024 It was a cute little studio that offered us a good place to stop by and relax in between checking out all that San Diego had to offer! We appreciated there being a fridge and microwave because we didn’t want to eat out the entire weekend we were there. Communication from the host was great, privacy was great, we were worried about not finding street parking, but surprisingly we did not struggle with that (maybe just our luck!). The neighborhood was also nice and had several places nearby that were great; coffee shops, a ramen place, a few thrift stores and a movie theater all within walking distance! Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and would definitely book again if need be. ##### Marissa Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Steve B. Apr 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### good price and great location One can't beat the location since it is in the center of Hillcrest and only a block and a half from University Ave., where a large variety of restaurants and bars are a short walk, so a car is not needed unless a person is planning to travel outside of the city. Other areas of interest are a short Uber/Lyft ride away. The owner is a great communicator who responds quickly to any questions. The only drawbacks are the property backs up to Highway 163 where one can hear traffic all night long, so if a person is a light sleeper, this could be a problem. Also, if one is a tall and/or big person, the shower can be a challenge. I am 5'11" tall and 170 lbs., and the shower was a bit tight for me. Overall, it's a great value and comfortable place to stay. ##### Steve B.

Great neighborhood, everything needed within a few blocks distance. Nice touches with extra plugs ins, fan, ac, medium sized fridge, microwave, toaster, small coffee maker, soap, shampoo, long mirror. Andrew was super friendly and gave suggestions for fun things to check out. We were out and about most of day so perfect spot for evening relaxing and place to sleep. Just as other noted from other comments, upstairs noise (if other bnb is occupied and traffic pretty noisy. Used earphones and was able to sleep though. Bed is pretty comfy. ##### Kristina K.
