Disappointing

The description in the ad said "Cozy". It was more than just cozy, it was cramped. The space between the toilet and the bathtub did not give enough room for our knees. It needs to be redone with a shower and no bathtub. The kitchen cannot fit 2 people without hitting each other. I was disappointed that they would not allow us to check in early without a 50.00 additional fee.

Walkable and Enjoyable

For not having a car, it was a great location to access Little Italy, Balboa Park and the Waterfront. If you like to walk this is a good spot. The steep hill ends up being good exercise. And even though you see and hear the plans fly over, we didn’t find it to be too loud at all. Slept just fine at night. Host communicated frequently and the place was clean. Had kcups and creamer too which was a plus. Would stay here again!

Cozy apartment in a great location

My friend and I spent three days in this apartment. Everything was very clean and there are basic essentials for use. There was only one wine glass but when we called, they sent someone over with some more. In general, the hosts were very responsive. It was a little chilly while we were in San Diego so we didn’t make much use of the back patio, but it’s nice that it’s there. The beds were very comfortable and the apartment is just a short (steep) walk from Little Italy. As other reviews have stated the bathroom is super tiny and the apartment looks smaller than the pictures suggest but it was fine for us. It’s near the airport, but we weren’t bothered by flight noise inside.
