Beautiful, clean, and organised place, easily accessible. I have OCD, so it was very easy to keep clean and relax with some music and wine. Close to shopping, restaurants, and balboa park. Great place to unwind after spending all day outside. The kitchen was a plus for me, as I enjoy cooking! I definitely plan on staying here again next year!

The location was perfect, and the rental was exactly as described. There were a lot of homeless people around the rental. We also had only a few tiny trash bags and the refrigerator was not cold. Otherwise, a fantastic trip for the marathon!

The property had a smell that was not good, the parking consist of moving your car every 2 hours. It was cold because the owner controlled the air and heat. The only bathroom was downstairs and the light from outside was too bright

Focus- When we checked in with you during your stay, you stated that everything was great and did not raise any of these concerns, nor did we hear a single word from you.... The listing accurately discloses the parking situation, including available parking options and applicable city parking regulations, and this information is provided prior to arrival.Sorry you missed the free parking. The home is equipped with both heating and cooling controls, and instructions for their use are provided within the property. Unfortunately, you did not communicate any issues regarding these items during your stay. The bathroom location, exterior lighting, and overall property layout are also clearly depicted in the listing photos and described in the property description. We encourage all guests to carefully review the listing details before booking to ensure the property meets their specific needs and expectations. We strive to provide an accurate representation of the property and address concerns when they are brought to our attention during a guest's stay.

Cute loft, very clean and within walking distance of CVS, several restaurants, the zoo, and Petco Park. About a 15 minute uber ride to lots of great beaches! I would suggest a sleeping mask if you like it dark to sleep at night because it is bright from the street lights at night. We had a great time!

The location was very close to Balboa Park. The inside of the unit was very clean and well stocked. Communication with the host was easy and efficient. There were some displaced individuals who were living outside, was grateful they had a camera. Definitely didn't feel safe going outside by myself.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly

Host profile image
I’m originally from Central California and have always loved being outdoors, which makes beautiful San Diego the perfect place to call home. I enjoy meeting new people and sharing the best of the city with them, whether it’s local spots, hidden gems, or favorite views. I’m friendly, outgoing, and love to travel myself, so I understand what makes a stay comfortable, memorable, and fun. Being a host allows me to connect with guests from all over the world and help them enjoy San Diego as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is vibrant and walkable, with Balboa Park’s gardens and museums just across the street, Little Italy’s restaurants and cafes a short stroll away, and Petco Park and the Rady Shell concert venue just minutes from the loft. What I enjoy most is the perfect balance of lively city energy and peaceful spots to relax, making it easy to explore, dine, and unwind all in one area.

What makes this property unique

What makes this loft special is the combination of location, character, and comfort. The building dates back to 1933 and has a unique industrial charm that’s hard to find in newer properties, while the interior has been thoughtfully updated to feel warm, modern, and inviting.

Its walkable location truly sets it apart. Being directly across from Balboa Park allows guests to step outside and enjoy green space, museums, and peaceful walks—something that’s rare for a centrally located San Diego stay. From here, it’s easy to walk to Little Italy and quickly reach Petco Park, the Gaslamp Quarter, and the Rady Shell concert venue.

Unlike many downtown listings, the loft offers a comfortable, home-like atmosphere rather than a hotel feel. It’s a relaxing place to return to after a full day of exploring, attending a concert or game, or enjoying the city.
