Studio with Large Balcony- San Diego Gateway0

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.

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!

Spacious apartment... No problem in terms of air or light ... The balcony is fantastic ... The owner let me do an early check in

There are many homeless people around that area and not many restaurants to grab food

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.

The location was fantastic, under 10 minutes from the Convention Center. Parking was not hard to find. Codes were secure and easy to use. Bed and pillows were nice and firm, facilities were clean and comfy.

Airplane noise and rain noise were quite loud. Any guest staying in a different room made quiet a lot of noise getting to their room.

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.

clean room and felt like I was at home. very cozy. The three codes made me feel very secure as nobody could come into my room at night. very close to balboa park.

a lot of homeless people hang around the property

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 well equipped, generously sized room, and spotlessly clean.

For some people maybe being under the flight path but we like planes!!!

clean and cool staff.

our AC in Room 8B did not work get preety hot at night. other then that the noise of the planes weren't that bad just the AC
