Luxurious One Bedroom Suite with Balboa Park View

Well furnished with a comfortable bed and a full suite of basic kitchen supplies. Pet friendly too!

NOISE. The property defies the laws of physics - noise feels like it is somehow amplified through the walls rather than being deadened. We could hear every single airplane landing in SAN, but more egregiously we could hear every single step of our upstairs neighbors as if they were having a dance party, and we could hear every other word of the conversations upstairs and in the hallway. The door to the property is a code, and we could hear every beep as people tried to enter the 4 units above us.

Good size apartment with good kitchen facilities, although once the sofa bed was out the living room had no room for a dining table.

You need to be aware that it was right under the flight path and planes were going over every few minutes. Although parking is advertised as free it is all metered parking. The ‘one bedroom’ is really an alcove so there is no privacy for a family. The shower had very low water pressure. We were on the ground floor (note there is no lift) but the noise between the apartments was concerning, particularly when your neighbours have dogs and they are scratching around on the floor above!!!

It was close to Balboa park and walking distance to the marina, little Italy, and other attractions. The bed was comfortable

There was a lot of noise from the neighbours coming in and out of the building throughout the evening and into the early hours of the morning. We could hear them running up and down the stairs and visiting/partying.

Location was good - this property is located basically halfway between Downtown (gaslamp) and the San Diego Zoo. it's also across the street from the southwest corner of Balboa Parkso this is 0.4 miles from the West entrance. There are good coffee shops, a couple of cafes/bars within walking distance. And a CVS drugs 1 block away for convenience. I also liked the pet policy so we could bring our critters on vacation. A/C worked well but can't control temp - needed to manually turn off after 30-60 minutes. TV was smallish but worked pretty well and same with Wifi/internet. We liked the full fridge and kitchen which was a plus for multiple nights. Street parking is available for free / low cost but be aware which spaces are metered. And the room fee was reasonable especially through Booking com.

Bed was OK - nothing amazing but decent. Since there were apparently 4 units above ours, there were constant footsteps up and down the stairs all night (for the first night). For the second night, it was a bit more quiet but still to be aware of. Cleaning fees are added though maid service is not available - they're just basically tidying up for the next guest and changing your linens and towels. Since parking fees are optional, we were able to pay this fee but it could be discounted further especially for 1 night stays. Airplane noise was a concern and watch out for a few street people nearby.

We walked to the zoo ! Beautiful walk ! Definitely want to stay again soon! I loved it!

Great staff. Good location.

Broken dishwasher, no smoke detector.

Had a nice easy access to the street with nice little private patio

Could get noisy but overall we enjoyed the stay

We loved this apartment. It was huge, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The location is good and we walked everywhere, except to Old Town which was just too far. We got an Uber there. The bed was very comfortable. We easily found free parking on the road outside, that runs alongside the park.

It was quite noisy with people accessing their "tower" at different times of the day and night, although earplugs were provided in the apartment.

The hosts were super nice and accommodating to our every need. The apartment was modern and very clean.

The only reasons I'm giving it only a score of 8 is the sofa bed, which was very uncomfortable, and the airplane noise which was something I wasn't prepared for and would probably have chosen differently if I had known. But other than that the stay was perfect.
