"The location was amazing and the view from the bed was great! The place had all the necessitates. Interactions with the host were prompt and friendly. They also provided an option for us to have groceries delivered and stocked before we arrived! I would highly recommend this place and will look for properties to stay with this host again! The only thing i would recommend is a makeup mirror or another mirror in the bathroom that's easier to reach for short people!"

"We loved our stay here! The place was clean and cozy. The bed was comfortable, and we had everything we needed. We cooked everyday, and had a little trouble with the stove at first, but Ryan kindly came over to show us how to operate it. Their place is close to everything-the beach, restaurants, airport and train station. Restaurants and beaches are very close within walking distance. You do not need a car to stay here. We can’t wait to come back!"

"This condo was in a wonderful location in Mission Bay. A short walk to the beach or to the bay, and just above a nice coffee shop. The check-in was super easy, and Carl, the host, was very responsive. The kitchen was well-stocked with dished and spices. The best thing though, was the extremely comfortable bed in the master bedroom. We even asked Carl for the model! A couple things to note: 1. the washing machine is VERY loud 2. the parking space is very small. Overall, I would actually give...

"The room was emmaculate and had every ammenity you can think off. The 24/7 gym is the best hotel gym i've seen by a long shot. The area is safe and walkable, just a few steps away from all the great restuarants little italy has to offer and waterfront park. I really liked that they had lockers in the lobby i could keep my luggage in even after i checked out as i had a late flight. Super convienient. One downside is that rooms don't block out any sound whatsoever and there was construction...
