Highly recommend!!

Such a delightful stay! This VRBO was very clean and is a perfect blend of charm and comfort. The host was a pleasure to communicate with and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. The living space was beautifully designed and had everything we needed. The outdoor area is great for morning coffee or for a breath of fresh air. Conveniently located walking distance from many great shops, restaurants and attractions, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommended!

It is a lovely space however it is not at all insulated for sound. Everything that happens outside is heard making sleep almost impossible.

Hi Chris, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you liked the space, and we truly appreciate you sharing your experience. As noted in our listing, the home is located in a lively downtown area, so some level of urban noise can be expected. While many guests enjoy the vibrant and walkable setting, we understand that sound sensitivity can vary from person to person. For added comfort, we do provide a white noise machine in the home to help minimize outside sounds. We value your input and appreciate you staying with us. Safe travels! Best, The Coastal Project

Review

The location of our stay was perfect, right in the heart of Little Italy and walkable to everything. Hosts were very communicative and willing to help with anything. The loft is right in the corner so you can hear all the street noise (people talking/crosswalk noise) and would recommend to bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper

Great spot for business, leisure travel near Little Italy, Short train ride to Convention Hotels

If you are attending a conference and want a quiet space for the evenings try this loft. Two minute walk from all the restaurants and shops of Little Italy. Two minute walk to the trolley green line and its two quick stops to the convention hotels & Seaport Village. Five minute walk to the water walking trail and seafood restaurants and shops. Close to Gas Lamp District too. Take the trolley and visit Old Town, Petco and the other excellent neighborhoods in San Diego. Nice loft with all that is needed for your visit. Note you have to walk some steps to get to the loft bed and store your clothes. Not a big deal, but something to be mindful of. Enjoy San Diego...

PROS: Terrific, cozy unit. Very clean. Bed was SUPER comfortable. Location was prime time! And the host was extremely communicative and helpful with suggestions at local restaurants. Very walkable part of San Diego. The host gets 10 stars!CONS: I know the VRBO description said it was an urban setting and "vibrant" - but it was LOUD. When people walked by the unit, it literally sounded like they were in the living room. It was almost like a window was open because the sound just came right in. And I live in a city on the east coast so I understand vibrant city noise. Also, not the fault of the host - but the first night the non-metro train (I think it's Amtrak) blew it's horn ALL NIGHT LONG - fortunately it wasn't that bad on our second night. So if you are staying here, bring some earplugs (because the white noise machine provided can't cover the outside noise). But at least the super comfy bed will help you doze off.

Hi Christopher, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the comfort of the unit, the prime walkable location, and our team’s communication. That truly means a lot to us. As noted in the listing, the home is located in a lively coastal neighborhood, and while many guests enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, city and transit noise can occasionally be part of the experience. We appreciate you sharing your perspective, and we’re glad the cozy space helped make your stay enjoyable. We’d love to host you again on your next visit to San Diego! Safe travels!

Excellent spot for checking out little Italy!

I stayed here for a conference and it was a great location. Clean and suitable for our needs. The location is truly perfect. The spot is street level, and there is a fair amount of walking traffic outside with some noise but not bad. When we were there the small windows on the front door had no coverings which made it possible for folks to look in which was a bit disconcerting. The host was very diligent in trying to help us with the internet upload speed which unfortunately never was quite good enough for Zoom. Being there for business this was a bit of a hurdle. But I say this for two purposes, a renter keeping that in mind to ask if you need it and to stress that John was very clearly doing everything he could to fix it, albeit limited o what can be accomplished from his side of things with us already in the place. If, above all else, you want to be a minute walk away from the best restaurants in little Italy, this is it.
