Last minute getaway

The host was very accommodating to our last minute request to get away. The property was clean and presentable when we arrived—an extra plus! The beds were VERY comfortable so kudos to them! A few downsides, the location is on a steep hill and parking was very tricky—make sure you have a working parking break. Airplanes landed nightly until about 11pm and departures were starting at 6:30am. The neighbors were quiet but had brightly lit up their homes. Bring your own sound machine and some blackout curtains to help with sleeping.

A little surprised

Didn’t realize how small the place was. Pictures didn’t accurately reflect what the unit was. You can’t sit on the toilet because there is no room for your knees. The bathtub is literally right there.The place is old and repair attempts have been on the cost saving side. Parking is also very difficult. Unit is on a steep hill and finding a parking place out side was never available.The place was clean, appropriately equipped.

A Wonderful Week!

A coworker and I visited the San Diego area to attend a professional conference. The folks at GOATHOTE, LLC were fantastic! They were communicative and helpful, their apartment is well-maintained and perfectly situated to many sites, restaurants, and activities in the San Diego area. Little Italy has much to do and see; we'll definitely be back! Thanks so much for a wonderful week, GOATHOTE, LLC!

Great little apartment

The property was what we expected. Great location, central to everything. The hill it is on is steep, but we worked with it. It is near the airport, so you hear planes a lot, but we got used to it. Overall, we were pleased with the stay.

Wouldn’t Stay Again

Rarely do I leave non-positive reviews, but it feels necessary. The listing is accurate in that the home is TINY, but it’s also not stocked at all. The kitchen lacks things like plastic wrap, foil, salt, etc. Also, it’s HOT. Despite the outside temperatures only being 70ish, the house reached 79 and 80 degrees most of the days we were there, even with the wall unit AC on and all ceiling fans. We contacted the property management company and were lectured about most people finding the San Diego weather delightful; I tried to explain it’s not about that, the inside is hotter than the outside and the heater is radiating hot air. They did finally send someone to turn off the heater and bring more fans, but the heat never stopped. If you want to be able to sleep, bring ear plugs. This home is directly under the flight path and the airplanes look like they may hit houses - that’s how close and loud they are. Not to mention the neighbors on the sides and rear having loud barking dogs all night and parties on their porches. I realize the owner has no control over neighbors, but just an fyi for future guests. You can’t sit on the toilet and face forward because your legs hit the tub and there was what seemed to be urine build up behind the toilet. There was also a gross box of hair in the closet of one bedroom. And like others have said - the hill is STEEP and parking can be difficult. The location is good and quick to get to popular places.

Plane spotting

It's a small 2-bd place on a hill. Clean. There is street parking. Not for light sleepers though (as mentioned) as it's located in the landing path of airplanes and near a busy freeway. 10 minutes walk to little Italy. It served us well.

Misrepresentation - Does Not Accommodate 5 people!

We booked for 5 adults as this is what is advertised on the Stayz website only to find that the bedding for the fifth person was a 2-seater couch. Not a pullout bed, but literally a 2-seater couch. As this unit could not accommodate 5 people, we contacted the Host only to be advised that the 2-seater couch was the bed. As this was clearly unable to cater for 5 people, we vacated the accommodation immediately and sought alternate accommodation. Would I book with Stayz again? Probably not.

The location and management were exceptional. They had rapid responses and always kind. The only problem was the kitchen dishes. We had to wash everything we used because it was all dirty. We believe it was from the visitors before because the entire place was extremely clean. Thank you and we would recommend the property to all.

Good location

Good place for a short trip with family of four. Used both beds and had a teen on the couch (not a pullout bed). Very clean. Older apartment with small bathroom. Great location, but on a very steep hill so not ideal for older adults or little kids. Coffee shop right around the corner. Next to Little Italy and downtown. Next to airport which is really convenient, but very loud with planes overhead. Perfect place for a simple place to stay near everything. Great communication and easy check in process.

Quick family trip to San Diego

The property was as described, and clean and tidy inside. There was a slight odor indoors and a very strong urine odor on the porch area and outside the condo-it seems maybe there is a nearby homeless population that may sleep near the condo. We were only there long enough to sleep and shower and thankfully the beds were very comfortable.

Perfect for 2-3 people

My friends and I stayed here for a week and it was exactly what we needed. It's a little small so 4-5 people would probably be a little crowded but it was perfect for 3. The view out the front door is incredible and I loved watching the planes fly by overhead. It is a short 10 minute walk to the trolley, 15 minute walk to Balboa Park, and 15 minute walk to the heart of Little Italy. It was very easy to find the place and get inside, even with us getting there at 11:30 at night. It is on a steep hill so be careful if you have trouble walking. If you drive, there was usually plenty of available street parking. Would 100% stay here again.

Charming apartment

The place was really charming and just the right amount of space for 3 adults. Great location in San Diego as it was central to everything we wanted to do and felt very safe in this location. It had a very small bathroom which was accurately described in their listing. The beds were very comfortable. Even though you are by the airport and the freeway, it was fairly quiet in the unit. I never had issues sleeping. The filtered water in the frig was an added bonus.
