Thank you, Brett! Please reach out to our team anytime
Perfect location to stay at while taking in ALL that San Diego has to offer. Located by shops, diners, the waterfront and more. Little Italy is such a fun place to explore.
It was a perfect location to be close to everything! I would recommend to park during after hours. Ideally because not a lot of tourists know this, parking is free after 6pm.

This spot was perfect for our stay during the holidays. It was not noisy which is great since it is right in the middle of everything. Great spot if your traveling with a pet.
We had an amazing stay. Its a block from the trolley so super easy to get around downtown. Parking lot across the street was super accessible. If you plan on parking on the street, they street sweep Thursday, FYI. Place was the perfect fit for us.

Thank you, Reece! We greatly appreciate your feedback
The location of this property was excellent. Close to dining and stores is Little Italy. Bathroom was well appointed and bed and linens were very comfortable. Some small negatives however. First, the only waste basket was a very small one in the bathroom. We used a paper bag as a second one. The "kitchen" area had three appliances but only had a two outlet plug. And the Kuerig coffee maker didn't work. Only found out after we spent 8.00 on K cups. Had to go a block away to buy coffee every day. The rental agency said they would replace, but they never did. But, over all, we would definitely stay here again.

Hi Thomas! Thank you so much for the feedback on your stay. We are so sorry for the missing trashcan, and have since replaced that in the kitchen. The Keurig was on order to your rental with the initial delivery date being prior to checkout, but the package delivery was delayed unfortunately.. That has since been replaced as well. We are so sorry for the inconvenience, and we hope you otherwise enjoyed this home!
Clean (except for a hairball on bedsheets) but other than that very neat and tidy. Easy access to restaurants and waterfront and Midway Museum (our new favorite museum!)

Thank you for your feedback, Cynthia! Apologies for the mentioned cleaning item. Our dedicated housekeeping team deep cleans before each check-in. Should there be any issues upon check-in we are happy to reclean!
Stayed in Little Italy for the first time. This unit was clean and cozy with a great location in Little Italy. The train to the convention center is one block from the unit!! Great stay I will be back!!
Right next door to our daughter, walk ability, next to train/trolley. No need for car. Excellent food and entertainment options. Sound proof entrance with shades for peace and privacy

Thank you so much, Lori!! We're so glad you enjoyed this home's location and privacy in Little Italy.
Without a formal kitchen this place is a lot like an extra large efficiency hotel. Good location for food and walkable to downtown locales if you don’t mind a trek or a short Uber trip. Clean and as advertised.

Slice of Paradice
We had an incredible stay at this rental property! The location was perfect—close to so many fun activities, delicious restaurants, and unique shops. We will truly miss the long, peaceful walks along the waterfront, which quickly became a highlight of our trip. The views of the Pacific Ocean were breathtaking, and the sunrises and sunsets were absolutely spectacular—a true slice of paradise! The property itself was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, making it a fantastic home base for exploring the area. We can't wait to return!
Great place in a great location. A block away from Little Italy, 5 min walk to catch the ferry to Coronado. About 20-25 min walk to Gaslamp district, Petco, Rady Shell. Only took Uber to and from airport. Condo is clean and spacious for two. Will definitely stay again.

Never heard anything from the host. The bathroom had an absolutely horrific odor. Well I was there for eight days. There were ants that I was killing on the walls in the floors. The toilet did not flush properly. The bathroom had peeling paint on the walls and ceilings.

We appreciate the feedback. Our records show that we messaged you after check in and did not get any response, nor did we receive any complaints from you during your stay. We have notified the maintenance team to look into the issues you have reported
Property was accurately listed, clean, and located in a very walkable neighborhood. Public parking is outrageous so if you're lucky enough to find a street spot, don't give it up and U
It was perfect size for me. Clean and modern look to it. Perfect spot for me and for the sightseeing areas. Was 10 mins to MCRD and Airport. One block away from Little Italy restaurants, walking distance to the Waterfront Park, the restaurants on the pier and easy Lyft and Uber pick up. Would definitely recommend this unit.
