About this property
Designer Living + Pool + Hot Tub | Walk to Waterfront | AvantStay Little Italy
Espresso in the morning, oysters by night, and the bay breeze drifting up the side streets in between. This modern two-bedroom at AvantStay Little Italy puts you in one of San Diego's most walkable neighborhoods, with a smart, self-contained setup that makes it easy to come and go as you please.
The Retreat 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | Sleeps 4 | Full Kitchen
Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows pull in natural light and city views, while wood-style flooring and quartz countertops keep things crisp and contemporary. The full kitchen has stainless appliances and everything you need to cook in, and an in-unit washer and dryer makes longer stays feel effortless. Smart home tech and keyless entry keep things seamless from arrival to checkout.
The Building The shared amenities at AvantStay Little Italy are the real showstopper. Head up to the rooftop for a swim in the pool, a soak in the hot tub, or a seat in the sky lounge with panoramic views of San Diego Bay, the downtown skyline, and Balboa Park in the distance. Guests also have access to a BBQ area for sunset grilling, a fully equipped fitness studio, and a pet run for four-legged travelers.
The Neighborhood Step outside and you're surrounded by the area's Italian roots: family bakeries, handmade pasta, art galleries, and boutique shops along the way. On Saturdays, the Little Italy Mercato fills the streets with farm stands and local makers. Morning Glory for brunch and Ironside Fish & Oyster for raw bar favorites are both just a few blocks away, and Tacos El Gordo is an easy walk into downtown for late-night cravings. The harbor, Seaport Village, Balboa Park, and the San Diego Zoo are all close by, and with good transit right in the neighborhood, the rest of the city is easy to reach.
Please note: while amenities throughout each space are as advertised, layout and decor may vary.
AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we're at your service!

This was the perfect location. We were close to dining, museums, and all the necessary sites. We were even close to Balboa Park and spent a couple days there as well. The property was conveniently located within 10 minutes from San Diego Airport.The property was new and the facilities were kept pristine. The pool, gym, and other amenities, were well kept and everything was functional. The views from the rooftop deck were breathtaking.Everything we needed for an amazing stay were available as we love the ability to take our time and make breakfast in the morning before our adventures. Our family would, definitely, stay here again when we visit San Diego again.
