San Diego Gem: Walk to Bay, Beaches & Boardwalk

Reviews

• Great place to stay

  5/5

  It was a great weekend getaway. We were in town to visit our student at SDSU. We loved being able to walk to restaurants, coffee and shopping. The beach was a 15-20 min walk. The place was clean and comfortable.

• Nice location to Pacific Beach

  3/5

  We spent 4 nights. Initially thought it would be better to stay downtown however closer to Pacific Beach (20 minute walk) was nice. Easy to Uber to Zoo, Old Towne etc. grocery store, restaurants etc are all close.

  Unit itself was fine except for the furniture. Mattress is too soft. New mattress cover required at the very least. Living room couch and chair both extremely uncomfortable.

  Due to the heat we spent more time inside so it would have been nice to have comfortable furniture. Also the fan left in closet was unusable due to how filthy it was.

  Good lighting, shelving, nicely appointed with art work etc. kitchen well stocked with utensils etc. great to have laundry available. TV was excellent, able to watch baseball, Disney etc. lots of bath towels was great. Everything spelled out in terms of directions.

  Despite the signs in kitchen welcoming us didn’t feel welcomed in two communications with Michael. Very curt.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Karen, we always appreciate hearing from our guests. We've passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following:
  - It’s great to hear you enjoyed the lighting, kitchen amenities, and entertainment options. I always aim to provide a welcoming and well-equipped space for our guests.
  - I recognize that mattress preferences can vary widely, and while I try to accommodate all guests' comfort, I’ve never received any complaints about this mattress in the past.
  - The apartment is equipped with ceiling fans in both the living room and bedroom, as well as a mini-split A/C to keep things cool. I’ll also be replacing the portable fan to ensure our guests have everything they need.
  - I responded promptly to your email regarding the TV volume and didn’t receive any further concerns. I strive to be responsive to any guest needs and would have been happy to assist with anything else during your stay.
  We have worked very hard to provide a clean and comfortable place for guests to enjoy and will continue to do all we can to provide the best possible stay for our guests!

  Cute apartment. Only 5 units. It’s walkable to beaches but not recommended after a long day in the sun. It would be up hill with all your belongings.

  Accommodations were average. Thin pillows. No sheets for the hide-a-bed. Very little cookware if you planned on making meals. Plenty of towels but a little too much bleach.

  Lots of shops (grocery too), restaurants, and tattoo shops around.

  Awesome little ice cream place around the corner. Street parking wasn’t bad. Mostly quiet at night.

• Everything great! Except…

  4/5

  The bed, the single most important part of a unit. Unfortunately there is no place to upload a picture. The mattress has a piece of foam rubber on top. Clearly that is done to make an uncomfortable mattress more comfortable. It failed. Terrible mattress=poor sleep. Not good.

  Otherwise this is a great place. Location is excellent, clean and comfortable and easy access.
