I had a great week and enjoyed being able to cook meals for my son before his deployment! Thank you for having all the cooking supplies I needed :) ##### ReginaK ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole Louise N. 18 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little spot near Balboa Park We loved this place! It was the perfect spot for our overnight getaway. It was an easy walk to our favorite restaurants and shops in North Park and Hillcrest. We were also minutes away from Balboa park for our afternoon museum visits. The studio was quite spacious, clean, and perfect for a part of two. We definitely remember this place next time we’re in town! ##### Carole Louise N.

You are within walking distance of a beautiful park, restaurants, and store. The hosts were very communicative responding quickly and helpful. My only issue was the amount of noice that came from the up stairs. This happens during the day, early morning and once even at night waking me up from a loud thump sound. Other than that, it was great. Just keep that in mind. ##### AlejandroS This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### ShannonO 23 Jan 2024 #### CEO The apartment was lovely. However, the upstairs tenant was up at all hours walking back and forth, and the floors creaking was pretty annoying at 3 am! Other than that, this was a lovely place to stay. Oh, and the Select Stays form wasn't working so i had to use venmo, and then they told me the wrong code for the door; and the code expired on me during my stay. Luckily they responded quickly to text. ##### ShannonO ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Urban Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Urban-Boutique-Hotel.h7341280.Hotel-Information) > > [The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-London-West-Hollywood-At-Beverly-Hills.h21097.Hotel-Information) > > [The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Godfrey-Hotel-Hollywood.h32945867.Hotel-Information) > > [Disneyland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneyland-Hotel.h15276.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental San Diego by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-InterContinental-San-Diego.h26984236.Hotel-Information) > > [citizenM Los Angeles Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-CitizenM-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h65299564.Hotel-Information) > > [Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Alma-San-Diego-Downtown.h2133509.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Garden San Diego Near SeaWorld](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Wyndham-Garden-San-Diego-Near-SeaWorld.h40962.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wayfarer San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-The-Wayfarer-San-Diego.h15555.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-San-Diego.h1731557.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton San Diego Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Sheraton-San-Diego-Resort.h11109.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton San Diego Downtown/Bayside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Diego-DowntownBayside.h13155016.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Bahia-Resort-Hotel.h18241.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hotel San Diego Gaslamp Quarter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Solamar-San-Diego.h1117693.Hotel-Information) > > [Springhill Suites San Diego Downtown/Bayfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Springhill-Suites-San-Diego-DowntownBayfront.h12067966.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Downtown/Bayside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-San-Diego-DowntownBayside.h13339817.Hotel-Information) > > [Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Manchester-Grand-Hyatt-San-Diego.h12073.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hollywood Roosevelt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Hollywood-Roosevelt.h34142.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Diego Bayfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Hilton-San-Diego-Bayfront.h1871645.Hotel-Information) > > [W Hollywood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-W-Hollywood.h3084874.Hotel-Information) > > [Staypineapple, Hotel Z, Gaslamp San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Staypineapple.h11486063.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel San Diego - Mission Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-San-Diego-Mission-Valley.h332.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-San-Diego-Marina.h24394.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton La Peer Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Kimpton-La-Peer-Hotel-West-Hollywood-By-IHG.h18156733.Hotel-Information) > > [HOLLYWOOD VOLUME, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-HOLLYWOOD-VOLUME.h62585670.Hotel-Information) > > [Mondrian Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Mondrian-Los-Angeles.h4798.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacific Terrace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Pacific-Terrace-Hotel.h11528.Hotel-Information) > > [Kona Kai San Diego](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Diego-Hotels-Kona-Kai-San-Diego.h28118.Hotel-Information) ---
