Excellent property and location
Completely renovated and in excellent condition. Multiple restaurants within walking distance. A block away from the Red Trolley train line. Could use a security light above the entrance. Otherwise, a great stay. A comment about the loft: I'm 5' 7" and cross beams reached to the bottom of my ears. Not a problem for me, could be for others.

Nice property, fab location!
Nice property in a centralized location with all the food in the world around the location. It was a nice walk to the ocean front, an easy walk to the convention center, and the weather was so nice I even walked to the airport for my flight home.

Apathetic Landlord
I never received check-in information through VRBO. Landlord communicates outside VRBO. But when the AC did not work properly, then self-destructed, the landlord NEVER called me back. Had to sleep on couch since upstairs was too hot and stairs to get there are in disrepair - they look dangerous.

Great location and surprisingly quiet!
Excellent location in the heart of Little Italy! Steps away from India street and the blue/green line. The property does not enter off the main road, so at night, it is very quiet. Best of both worlds!

NO ON-SITE PARKING
We stayed at this adorable loft located at the edge of Little Italy. Wonderful location!
There is no parking on site. Management refers you to a lot across the street but it is $10 per hour! This drastically changes the cost of a long weekend! We took our chances and parked on the street. Luckily, no issues.
There was garbage at our front door the day we arrived. It grew and stayed there the entire 5 days. I called management twice, but they did not take care of the problem.
Also, a homeless couple decided to visit the motor courtyard at the property. (The courtyard that we could not use.) They stayed for the afternoon.
This site is in an ideal location but I am not sure I would stay here again.

My mom and I loved this place. Everything was close by and being able to walk to the places we needed was great. We didn’t realize that parking would be a luxury we would miss but other than that this place was amazing.

San Diego
The property is in an excellent location in San Diego, in the heart of Little Italy. It was off an alley, so very quiet and relaxing. There is an issue with head space in the loft, but I was aware of that upfront. Being off an alley, it is very difficult to find. There is no signage until you are standing in front of the door, not visible from the alley.
This was my 1st VRBO, one disappointing thing was there was no coffee! There were 2 packs of decaf but that was it. At other housing rentals I have stayed at there is usually coffee (you would have that in a hotel too), snacks (chips, cookies, granola bars, fruit gummies, microwave popcorn, etc.). The hosting fee is probably more than enough to at least offer coffee.

Stay in a hotel instead
Terrible internet, it has a smart TV but we ended up using our iPad and hotspot due to single digit upload and download speeds.
poor communication, inaccurate information from management company - didn’t answer the emergency number.
Don’t be fooled by pictures, ceiling is lower than it looks, you cannot stand in the bed area and stairs are cumbersome and noisy. We hit our heads a number of times.
The location is the only good thing about this property. There are hotels in the same area that are less expensive and would have been more comfortable.

One of the worst
I had reserved this place for a ten-day stay, but unfortunately, it turned out to be the worst experience with management that I have ever had. I strongly advise against booking this property as it has a low roof, and the pictures shared by Surf Style are misleading. In my experience, the management team was unsupportive, and their customer service was rude, arrogant, and unhelpful. I regret that I am unable to provide a detailed account of my experience due to word count limitations. In short, I would caution anyone against booking this place or any other properties owned by Surf Style on VRBO.

Location was everything for Little Italy!
The location of the property was perfect for anyone looking to explore Little Italy - and there is a lot to explore! The only downfall is parking - if you have a car - that's a pricey issue. There were a few little issues (ie: coffee pot malfunction, slow drains) - communicated with the property management team and received a quick response. It is compact - don't plan on doing a lot of cooking there - but you wouldn't want to anyway - lots of great restaurants within the vicinity! My overall 4 rating was based on the few little issues we ran into and cleanliness (cobwebs in the loft). Great place though!

Amazing!!
Honestly, this was one of the best locations I have stayed at. Little Italy has SO many amazing options, and the unit was clean and the staff was responsive and helpful to everything we needed!! The only negative thing was that I didn't realize how low the ceiling was, and it was a little tough to navigate with my 6'3" husband lol but we made it work :) I would still recommend 10/10!!

Not ideal for long term/monthly stays
The location was unbeatable and surf style had resolved a backed up shower in less than 24 hours. Unfortunately— two other water incidents occurred through faulty appliances causing for me to come home twice with water covering the kitchen floor and leaking from the AC unit. I had to immediately use the towels to soak up and had to pay for laundry services (since no washer/dryer in unit). I reported it and didn’t even get an offer to be reimbursed. I paid 3500k+ to stay one month so expected high quality homes and customer service. This place is just not ideal or functional for long term stays.
The other con to my stay was the neighbors. The wall is thin so you can hear their music/tv (and bass) and sometimes late through the night. I had to buy ear plugs and used white noise to drown it out on most nights. I hated that as vrbos guests we had strict noise rules but the problem was the neighbors (who live there) instead. The respect was not reciprocated. Otherwise, everything else went well.

The place is cozy and it is ideal for two people. It was clean and the management group was VERY easy to deal with. It is less than a one minute walk to San Diego's Little Italy, need I say anthing more.
