Feb 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little spot near Balboa Park We loved this place! It was the perfect spot for our overnight getaway. It was an easy walk to our favorite restaurants and shops in North Park and Hillcrest. We were also minutes away from Balboa park for our afternoon museum visits. The studio was quite spacious, clean, and perfect for a part of two. We definitely remember this place next time we’re in town! ##### Carole Louise N.

I had a great week and enjoyed being able to cook meals for my son before his deployment! Thank you for having all the cooking supplies I needed :) ##### ReginaK This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### AlejandroS Jul 20, 2025 #### Great location The location of the place is great! You are within walking distance of a beautiful park, restaurants, and store. The hosts were very communicative responding quickly and helpful. My only issue was the amount of noice that came from the up stairs. This happens during the day, early morning and once even at night waking me up from a loud thump sound. Other than that, it was great. Just keep that in mind. ##### AlejandroS This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### ShannonO Jan 23, 2024 #### CEO The apartment was lovely. However, the upstairs tenant was up at all hours walking back and forth, and the floors creaking was pretty annoying at 3 am! Other than that, this was a lovely place to stay. Oh, and the Select Stays form wasn't working so i had to use venmo, and then they told me the wrong code for the door; and the code expired on me during my stay. Luckily they responded quickly to text. ##### ShannonO ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ocean Park Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Ocean-Park-Inn.h4207.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego Bay Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Diego-Bay-Downtown.h5328.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn San Diego-Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-San-Diego-Downtown.h551889.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Omni-San-Diego-Hotel.h982408.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham San Diego Bayside](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Wyndham-San-Diego-Bayside.h11177.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental San Diego by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-InterContinental-San-Diego.h26984236.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Bahia-Resort-Hotel.h18241.Hotel-Information) > > [Town and Country San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Town-And-Country-San-Diego.h21394.Hotel-Information) > > [Catamaran Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Catamaran-Resort-And-Spa.h24669.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Grand Del Mar](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Fairmont-Grand-Del-Mar.h1779742.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-San-Diego.h1731557.Hotel-Information) > > [Pendry San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Pendry-San-Diego.h16298963.Hotel-Information) > > [Keating Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Keating-Hotel.h1544039.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-San-Diego-Marina.h24394.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton San Diego Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Sheraton-San-Diego-Hotel-And-Marina.h11109.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wayfarer San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Wayfarer-San-Diego.h15555.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin San Diego Bayview](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Westin-San-Diego-Downtown.h27516.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sofia Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Sofia-Hotel.h1573807.Hotel-Information) > > [The US Grant, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-THE-US-GRANT.h10802.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Diego Bayfront](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hilton-San-Diego-Bayfront.h1871645.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Yacht Harbor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Best-Western-Yacht-Harbor-Hotel.h21527.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Garden San Diego Near SeaWorld](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Wyndham-Garden-San-Diego-Near-SeaWorld.h40962.Hotel-Information) > > [Kona Kai San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Kona-Kai-San-Diego.h28118.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Bayside Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Bayside-Inn.h5597.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Downtown/Bayside](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Diego-DowntownBayside.h13155016.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacific Terrace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Pacific-Terrace-Hotel.h11528.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-San-Diego-Downtown.h40681.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Solamar-San-Diego.h1117693.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Island Palms Hotel & Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Island-Palms-Hotel-Marina.h9660.Hotel-Information)
