Comfortable and convenient and great location.

This was a great place to stay for access to Balboa Park. 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.

Best place in Hillcrest!

The place is so cozy, perfect location to almost everything walking distance. Bed was super comfortable. Wish there was a stove but definitely not a deal breaker. Andrew was super attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend! Looking forward to a future stay!

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.

The property is perfect for one or two people. It's cute, and so close to all things in Hillcrest. I did not need a car for nothing in Hillcrest. Short Uber ride to Zoo and other attractions.

Comfortable Stay Close to Everything in San Diego

Property was clean and comfortable. Great location within a short drive to everything in San Diego. Freeway noise was negated by air conditioner. Some noise early in the morning could be heard from upstairs. All in all, nice place to stay. I'd recommend to anyone wanting to see all San Diego has to offer.

Beautiful Stay

My partner and I were visiting San Diego for my birthday and our 3rd wedding anniversary. 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.

Superb location in the heart of Hillcrest. But it is right ON the freeway, so it’s very noisy even with earplugs. Also the only seating in the place is two barstools. If you’re ok with the noise, then go for it.

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.
