Nice little studio apartment very well appointed, very clean. A couple of drawbacks, it's on a Second story. I had a lot of stuff to carry up the stairs...There's no elevator. No parking on site. Downtown Parking can be anywhere from 30 to 60 dollars a night, not included, The worst part was shower head was horrible.The flow is so light. Even with short hair, it took me 3 minutes. Just to rinse my hair. I highly suggest a new shower head.

I stayed for 3 nights for work. The room was fabulous. Clean and cute. The bed was so comfortable! Check in was easy and even though there are no staff on site, they communicated well and responded fast. It was safe and quiet even though it was Halloween weekend and the streets were a party! I was able to walk to petco park in 8 minutes. I will definitely book here again when I’m back in San Diego.

Amazing place in a great area! Parking is a struggle but here is the cheat code! Instead of parking 40$+ overnight or paying 10$ per hour in downtown - park in neighborhoods then uber down for 11$.

Wonderful place, and a shockingly good price compared to other places around. We were expecting a bedroom and ended up with a whole apartment, fully kitted out. Beautiful furnishings, secure building, and the instructions from the Artifact were easy to follow. Just a five minute walk from Petco Park, trolley stops, and the Convention Center. Lots of restaurants and cafes nearby.
