Everything… you’re in downtown but also next to balboa . The staff iso nice and it is one of the cleanest places i have stayed. It’s relaxing, cozy, and my room view was amazing. The room is also very accommodating.. smart tv, microwave, mini fridge, big closet, and they also provide you with some necessities.

Noise from suite above due to creaking floors and occupier on the move throughout the night and early morning.

Convenient location, right next to Balboa Park. Clean and cool with A.C. Staff very attentive and courteous.

A lot of stairs

Large room. Good location

Climbing the stairs to 3rd floor with suitcases is not fun, many homeless in the neighbourhood

It is very basic, you have what you need for spending a night or two in SD, good location for the center of town, clean, next to the beautiful Balboa park

Homeless people in the area, a common problem os down towm San Diego

Good set up with hassle free entry. Nice big studio apartments with utensils and supplies. Pleasant hosts. I would stay here again on my next visit

Nothing really and it was enough but I wish the shower water pressure were a bit higher.

Very clean and room has everything. Also the bed was very comfortable.

9F is on the 4th level and no elevator, but on the plus side has amazing views and bbq area across. Recommended!

The mattress could be firmer and the checkin instructions didn't arrive in time.

The place is very clean and a 20 minute walk to the entrance of Balboa park. Didn't have any problems with the noise from airplanes.

Good location, comfortable bed. The bed pillows were two big for me, more likely suitable for a big man, with big shoulders. I had to get a massage to get the neck kinks out! This place is billed as "luxurious". I wish I had taken some pictures. There were holes in the wall that were plugged with toilet paper. The batteries in the TV remote were dead, needed replacing. The hairdryer didn't work. The safety deposit box could not be opened. Some of the slats of the window coverings were broken. Perhaps the owners have a different definition of luxurious. I would say the room was sufficient for the price paid. The room had a coffee maker, a small one that makes 2 or 3 cups. But the coffee filters were those for a 12 cup coffee pot. Likewise, the owners purchased Kirkland coffee in packages for a 12 cup coffee pot. That is not luxurious to me! It shows me that there is no eye for detail, hence "luxurious" does not enter into the conversation. On the other hand, one of the owners offered to call Uber for me, that was considerate.

Location was handy to everything but without transport luckily we were able to walk to downtown as it was a bit further than thought. However 5 minutes to airport. Our room was beautiful and security made us feel comfortable. When we arrived we were grateful for help with bags to our room on 3 rd floor. All staff very helpful.

The noise insulation in the place was one of the worst I've experienced. I could hear every step of the guests in the room above me and every time they dropped something, like a spoon. Even with earplugs it was hard to drown out the noise that penetrated through the walls and floor.

The room itself was clean and well maintained, and amenities were good.

Steps. A bummer with a large suitcase. It is what it is though. Install a solution to keep the shower curtain up. It was very flimsy and kept falling. Theres a $10 gadget on amazon that stucks to the wall and supports the shower curtain ends. Try that.

Bed. Not too soft. Very comfortable Clean thoughout. TV had streaming accounts logged in (dont know if on purpose or in error, but came in handy!) Water: Hot! Quiet! Bright Parking: free!

The room was noisy. You could hear neighbours in the stairwell and every step of the neighbours above us: coming in late at night.There is also a nightclub nearby that you could hear the pounding beat well past midnight. Some have commented about the planes flying over but that was not an issue. if you are looking for a place that is nice and quiet, it is not. We stayed three nights but were only given coffee for two days and tea for a day. As well the complimentary body gel in the shower was empty and we were only given a tiny bar of soap for the three days. The bottled water was nice in the fridge but again not provided other than for one day. I had to approach the housekeeping staff for more tea, water and soap. They did not service our room at all. This was described as an inn, but it was not. it was an apartment building with renovated rooms for guests. We paid extra for housekeeping and parking.

It was conveniently located to Balboa Park and downtown for walking.

Sofa bed was uncomfortable to sleep on.

Great place to stay. Great building security.

Stayed in January 2023

Just change the check out times. We got our door knock so loud and it was barely 10am. I love it I just hope to get 1 more hour at least :)

We loved this property. Very Clean and spacious. We love everything and how safe and secure it was. Super clean and tight. Highly recommend.

There is not much that I wouldn't like about this place. Maybe only the landing airplanes sounds might be disturbing for some people, but I didn't find it problematic.

The studio is very cozy and clean and located perfectly next to San Diego's largest Balboa park. Everything is in close proximity, so I enjoyed a lot of walking around. Downtown is near, and so is Hillcrest with all the fun places. The apartment itself had everything needed for a perfect stay - huge sized comfy bed, towels, bath accessories, and all other necessary items. Checking in and out were self - and stress free, as you get the access codes for all the doors.

The shower curtain was way too short and there should be two sets of towels.

The stay was comfortable and clean

Stayed in October 2022

Location right along Sixth Ave. Walking distance to Balboa Park & San Diego Zoo ($8 Uber if you don't feel like walking). 10-min drive to the airport. Beautiful room, very clean and modern. Getting in and out of the place was very easy using the code they emailed to me. Will definitely stay again the next time I come to San Diego.

STAIRS! Way too many stairs. Also, Smoke Alarm backup battery died and was beeping all night long my last night. Also, the area seemed a bit sketchy. Lots of homeless hanging around.

Bed was good. I liked the kitchenette setup.

Stayed in September 2022

The TV did not work properly at times. The property did not provide ironing facilities or a hairdryer, despite these being listed on Booking.com. Overall cleanliness was acceptable, except for a spot of unknown thick liquid on the wall and some kids of cockroaches in the kitchen corner.

The location was good, and the bed, which is the main thing, was fine.
