Nothing

The place was good located, the contact with the owner was good

Noise from suite above due to creaking floors and occupier on the move throughout the night and early morning.

Convenient location, right next to Balboa Park. Clean and cool with A.C. Staff very attentive and courteous.

A lot of stairs

Large room. Good location

Stayed in July 2024

Climbing the stairs to 3rd floor with suitcases is not fun, many homeless in the neighbourhood

It is very basic, you have what you need for spending a night or two in SD, good location for the center of town, clean, next to the beautiful Balboa park

9F is on the 4th level and no elevator, but on the plus side has amazing views and bbq area across. Recommended!

The mattress could be firmer and the checkin instructions didn't arrive in time.

The place is very clean and a 20 minute walk to the entrance of Balboa park. Didn't have any problems with the noise from airplanes.

Good location, comfortable bed. The bed pillows were two big for me, more likely suitable for a big man, with big shoulders. I had to get a massage to get the neck kinks out! This place is billed as "luxurious". I wish I had taken some pictures. There were holes in the wall that were plugged with toilet paper. The batteries in the TV remote were dead, needed replacing. The hairdryer didn't work. The safety deposit box could not be opened. Some of the slats of the window coverings were broken. Perhaps the owners have a different definition of luxurious. I would say the room was sufficient for the price paid. The room had a coffee maker, a small one that makes 2 or 3 cups. But the coffee filters were those for a 12 cup coffee pot. Likewise, the owners purchased Kirkland coffee in packages for a 12 cup coffee pot. That is not luxurious to me! It shows me that there is no eye for detail, hence "luxurious" does not enter into the conversation. On the other hand, one of the owners offered to call Uber for me, that was considerate.

The noise insulation in the place was one of the worst I've experienced. I could hear every step of the guests in the room above me and every time they dropped something, like a spoon. Even with earplugs it was hard to drown out the noise that penetrated through the walls and floor.

The room itself was clean and well maintained, and amenities were good.

Steps. A bummer with a large suitcase. It is what it is though. Install a solution to keep the shower curtain up. It was very flimsy and kept falling. Theres a $10 gadget on amazon that stucks to the wall and supports the shower curtain ends. Try that.

Bed. Not too soft. Very comfortable Clean thoughout. TV had streaming accounts logged in (dont know if on purpose or in error, but came in handy!) Water: Hot! Quiet! Bright Parking: free!

The room was noisy. You could hear neighbours in the stairwell and every step of the neighbours above us: coming in late at night.There is also a nightclub nearby that you could hear the pounding beat well past midnight. Some have commented about the planes flying over but that was not an issue. if you are looking for a place that is nice and quiet, it is not. We stayed three nights but were only given coffee for two days and tea for a day. As well the complimentary body gel in the shower was empty and we were only given a tiny bar of soap for the three days. The bottled water was nice in the fridge but again not provided other than for one day. I had to approach the housekeeping staff for more tea, water and soap. They did not service our room at all. This was described as an inn, but it was not. it was an apartment building with renovated rooms for guests. We paid extra for housekeeping and parking.

It was conveniently located to Balboa Park and downtown for walking.

Sofa bed was uncomfortable to sleep on.

Great place to stay. Great building security.

Stayed in January 2023

STAIRS! Way too many stairs. Also, Smoke Alarm backup battery died and was beeping all night long my last night. Also, the area seemed a bit sketchy. Lots of homeless hanging around.

Bed was good. I liked the kitchenette setup.

It was clean and the bed was comfortable . tT

Very thin ceiling and door, but the other guests were quiet.

Good location, big, nice and clean apartment, everything what you need (hairdryer, tissues, lot of towels, hand sensitizer, toothbrush, earplugs).

Close to glaslamp/little italy and midway museum

Noisy floors upstairs and noise from stairs in hallway (throughout the night) with footsteps and conversation. Advise using earplugs provided.

Location was very nice right across the street from Balboa park. Parking was easy, too, with metered parking on one side and free parking on the other. Did not use parking garage.

The TV did not work properly at times. The property did not provide ironing facilities or a hairdryer, despite these being listed on Booking.com. Overall cleanliness was acceptable, except for a spot of unknown thick liquid on the wall and some kids of cockroaches in the kitchen corner.

The location was good, and the bed, which is the main thing, was fine.

No alrr the Ernst I’ve to stairs. Would have liked to be asked if I wanted a lower floor.

Also enjoyed the access to premium streaming channels like Hulu & Disney+

Stayed in July 2024

Nothing really and it was enough but I wish the shower water pressure were a bit higher.

Very clean and room has everything. Also the bed was very comfortable.

Stayed in May 2024

Bad part of downtown with homeless on the streets. Need to improve on security. No elevators. Stairs are intense. High cost for parking. More of a hostel feeling

The room was very nice

Lovely apartment. Great first impressions as soon as we walked in. Very large and comfy bed. Really spacious room. Shame about the herd of elephants staying in the room above us. Location was good. Few homeless around but didn’t bother anyone. Right next to Balboa Park. Managed to park for free close to the apartment but beware of the palm trees!
