Great place
A cozy home and was perfect for our weekend and close to all the places we needed to be. We did not rent a car for our stay and Uber was readily accessible. We appreciated all the extra bathroom amenities. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in SD.
I was visiting SD for the first time and wanted to get to know the city as much as possible. This location was incredibly convenient -- I was able to walk all over Hillcrest, University Heights, Balboa Park, Banker Hill, etc. Everything else is a very quick rideshare trip away. I felt safe in the neighborhood the entire time. The host was extremely quick to respond to my questions and also very patient with me. The unit gets a lot of natural light, which was really nice. Overall, I had a great stay.I do want to say that the unit is near construction, so if you are extremely sensitive to noise, keep this in mind. It didn't bother me (and the unit has fans which can help cover the noise), but the noise is noticeable. Also, the wifi is not super fast, so if you're working remotely like I did, be aware of this. These were truly my only negative experiences with the unit and neither are make-or-break issues in my opinion, so 5 stars all around.
