Studio with Large Balcony- San Diego Gateway

Location was great. Right next to Balboa Park and an hour walk to Little Italy or Gaslamp. Check in and check out were a breeze. Management is easy to work with.

Parking can be difficult. Rare free spaces - meters or a garage. The bed was really firm. I'm sure some people would like that, but it was too much for us.

Location was accessible and central to downtown SD. The place was similar to a private Airbnb; everyone kept to themselves unless you needed something. The balcony was very large and overlooked Balboa Park, which was a plus. The apartment was clean; although since the housekeeper had to rush to clean it bc we cheched in early ( check-in time of 3 pm-but when we talked to the property manager he mentioned we could check-in at 2), I noticed the floors were not cleaned properly. It didn't bother me much, but it is worth mentioning since it felt our apartment was the last one to be cleaned that afternoon even though we had already dropped off our luggage prior to checking in.

As mentioned, the manager indicated we could check-in one hour earlier, but the apartment was not ready. It's on the path of the airport, so prepare to hear the roar of planes flying low. Pro: the sliding balcony windows are solid to block sounds, and a good pair of noise canceling headphones work just fine. I didn't lose sleep over this. Some guests don't abide by the rules, so there was a day we woke up at 7 am to the sound of loud music. We didn't complain, just seemed disrespectful of the guest who didn't care. Not the property's fault, though.

clean place, comfortable, large balcony

Centrally located, close to Balboa park and a short Under to downtown, apartment was clean and had all the facilities

It is in the approach path for the airport landing, not a big deal but a little noisy on the balcony

Very clean, friendly staff, everything already there that you could need and more.

The property was great. It was my first time in San Diego and I didn’t realize there were a lot of homeless people in this area.

Excellent location by Balboa Park. Good value and clean. Airplanes do fly over so bring earplugs for sleeping.

We had a wonderful stay! The staff were so nice and helpful - they were available during their office hours and were always happy to help or answer questions. We arrived early (around midday) and were able to get our room immediately. There was a washing machine and dryer near the office - staff provided detergent and change from dollar notes for the machine. The staff offer to store luggage securely in their office before check-in and after check-out. I mistakenly forgot an item of luggage at the property and messaged staff - they were able to ship the parcel to me the next day!!! The room was spotless and spacious, with a lovely couch and balcony overlooking the park. Fridge, sink, microwave, plates and cutlery in the cupboard provided. Location was also wonderful, right opposite an entrance to Balboa park (zoo, museums etc), cafes and restaurants nearby, and a short ride to Little Italy and Gaslamp district. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Airplanes flying right over you, the bed is not comfortable.
