    Passable stay - not comfortable for 4, very tight space and service not up to scratch.

    Access to apartment was difficult - no instructions were sent after arriving at the apartment, and calling the property. The answer was to use code 1 but we never received this. We booked for four people but bedding but not towels were provided - tried to contract reception but no one was in. Very tight quarters for 4 people. Not recommended! Took a deposit but this was not refunded until a month later when I had to chase it up via booking, otherwise they would have kept it.

    Good location across the street from Balboa park

    It's small for anything more than 2 people--essentially one room with trundle bed under the full bed and a sofa bed, sink, microwave, coffee maker, closet and bath--would check to see if 350 square feet includes balcony.

    Nice location although loud.The view is awesome

    Purchased parking on site for 2 nights. While there was free parking across the street, it seemed safer for the car and me to be in their parking lot.

    Very secure. Three sets of locks to get into rooms. Front gate lock, floor lock and then room lock. In spite of being in the flight path, the room was quiet. Also liked the patio. Enjoyed my coffee there.

    Hope you like plane noise instead of sleep

    Awful amount of low flying commercial airplane noise at ALL hours, impacting sleep and sanity. Staff totally unwilling to assist with a modification. A number of smaller inconveniences like no stop in the shower, no hand towel or floor mat, scuffs and chipped paint throughout, homeless all around that neighborhood, etc but the biggest issue was the noise. After the first night, I went to the manager and asked to be let out of the remainder of my booked stay because my sleep was soo poorly impacted by the plane noise, even with noise canceling earphones. He wouldn't budge, 3 more nights of awful sleep really ruined my trip. The noise was soo loud from the plains b/c this hotel sits right underneath the path for them to land.

    On the airport landing flight path so it's a little loud on the balcony. It is not too bad when inside with door closed. Space is a little tight for 3 people. There was a little hiccup with our check in but the property manager showed up in about 15 minutes and straightened it out.

    across the street from balboa park. Walking distance from downtown, harbor, little Italy, airport...

    it’s a bit noisy. can hear cars on the street and people walking upstairs. but the host thoughtfully prepared earplugs which helped a lot.

    very clean and new apartment. all the facilities are new. Great location, walkable to Balboa park and the zoo.

    I have no negative comments.

    The apartment is in a fantastic location overlooking Balboa Park. The park, Zoo, down town, gaslamp district and USS Midway are all in walking distance. The only time we used our car was to go to SeaWorld. We had a fantastic time in San Diego and this was the perfect location. The staff at the apartment were always friendly and able to give advice on the local area when we needed it.

    Disappointing Experience – Unprofessional Staff and Poor Communication
    • Business trip

    I had a very disappointing experience with this property. Upon arrival, the staff addressed me rudely and publicly lectured me in front of the guest I had booked the room for, warning that I would be held responsible if anything was damaged. This was not only inappropriate but also incredibly embarrassing — especially as it was the guest's first day in the U.S. and their first impression of hospitality here. In addition, it was unnecessarily difficult to obtain basic information such as the property’s exact location and a formal invoice. I had to follow up multiple times before receiving the documentation I needed. Overall, the lack of professionalism and poor communication made for a very frustrating experience. I would not recommend this property to others.

    The apartment is centrally located, close to the park and downtown, which was convenient. My guest also wasn’t bothered by the airplane noise, though it is quite noticeable.
