About this property
Sky Lounge + Pool + Hot Tub | Near Harbor & Dining | AvantStay Little Italy
Espresso in the morning, oysters by night, and the bay breeze drifting up the side streets in between. This modern studio 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.
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!

Very new property and kept clean. Convenient location, very nice pool deck and lounge on 22nd floor.

A brand-new property kept in great shape makes for an easy stay to enjoy, and that 22nd-floor pool deck and lounge really are a highlight. Glad the location worked well for you too — we'd love to welcome you back anytime.
Our stay at Ancora by Avantstay was excellent! We were in San Diego for a conference. The accommodations were just as described, clean, safe. Walking distance to everything, transport very accessible as well! There was a grocery store (Ralphs downtown) we found, not too far away too. Sunsets from the rooftop pool, outdoor grill, deck was also awesome, sadly only open til 10pm at night.In unit kitchen, laundry, dishwasher was also so convenient. The only trouble we had was getting kitchen sink water hot, I would stay here again if heading back to San Diego!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad Ancora was such a great fit for your San Diego conference trip, with the clean, well-located space making it easy to walk to everything and the in-unit kitchen and laundry adding extra convenience. Those rooftop sunsets really are something special! We appreciate you flagging the kitchen sink hot water — we'll be sure to pass that along to our team. We'd love to welcome you back on your next San Diego visit!
