Comfortable and Convenient
This property is walking distance to great restaurants and everything you could need for a short stay (or longer). And, short rideshare rides to downtown, gas lamp district, and other attractions. I highly recommend and would stay here again the next time I am in San Diego.

Great place, great location
The apartment is beautiful, cozy, and well stocked, and the location is perfect. My husband, 6 month old baby, and I stayed there for a long weekend and we loved the proximity to the restaurants and shops of South Park. The baby slept great and we did not have any issues with noise, despite the proximity to other apartments. The directions for check in and out as well as for the amenities were all very clear. Thank you for making our stay easy and enjoyable.

Great location with cheap uber into convention center
We attended for Comic-Con and knew that the hotels near downtown, as well as parking, were an immediate no-go due to pricing and availability. We booked this location and enjoyed a cheap app rideshare each day ($10-15 each way) and were much happier because of it. The accommodations themselves were nice and communication with the property manager was frequent. The only knock was the proximity to the other buildings on the lot, as the walls are a bit thin and neighbors were loud at night. Otherwise, a great experience!
