Bright & Modern 2 Level Unit in heart of Little Italy

Location was great… very walkable to everything downtown and a short drive to other interests. Parking in the neighborhood was easy. When it says two level be aware that it is the two levels above the garage so there in a large staircase to get up to the first level if you have lots or heavy bags. Our first night while getting ready for bed we noticed an infestation of tiny spiders in the loft, had two buy supplies and clean for over an hour just to feel comfortable enough to try and sleep. Communication with surf side was poor, I reached out that night and did not get a response for almost 2 days. Their options were to leave the unit for 3 to 4 hours while an exterminator came or to have the cleaning crew come back. As it was the afternoon before we were due to check out these options seemed pointless. Management didn’t seem to care about our poor experience. Overall for the price point I expected a bit more

Nice clean place, a little confusing on location/instructions. Upstairs got a littleHot sleeping with the lofted bed area. Great location. Finding street parking was nearly impossible but there are many garages around the area!

The listing is very economical considering the location however the phrase “you get what you pay for” has never been more apt. The location is excellent with one large caveat - you are not staying in an apartment you are staying in a refurbished garage to the apartment that is pictured in the photos. The issue is that it is accessed from a back alley which was strewn with garbage and debris which was left uncleaned through the duration of the stay. While the “apartment” itself was clean the back alley entrance significantly detracted from the accommodation. While I live downtown in a large city and therefore am quite used to homelessness you should be aware that a homeless man sleeps in the entrance way. If this were an apartment on a street that wouldn’t be quite as bad but since it is in an alleyway I can image that this would be off putting to some people particularly if you are not used to this. The actual space, while clean, is a garage. So the bedroom is in the ratters with a ceiling of about 4 feet - you have to crouch while climbing into bed so if you have mobility issues this could be a problem. The actual location is excellent and I think that little Italy is my favorite place to stay in San Diego - you are minutes from great restaurants and delicious gelato. If you can get past the above I could see this being a great find for travelling on a budget. The two star rating is in part based on the fact that the listing in my view is misleading.

Spotless, quiet, and great location in the heart of Little Italy. Didn’t touch our car for three days. My wife and I had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing hosts, super responsive, and beyond helpful with any questions i had!

Location, amenities, and property management communication were all fantastic!

Completely renovated and in excellent condition. Multiple restaurants within walking distance. A block away from the Red Trolley train line. Could use a security light above the entrance. Otherwise, a great stay. A comment about the loft: I'm 5' 7 and cross beams reached to the bottom of my ears. Not a problem for me, could be for others.

I love San Diego and try to visit once a year, for now. Surf Style Vacation Homes has given me a good place to stay in the heart of Little Italy, by Kettner Row. I had access to the blue line, good eats, and the hillside sunset view that made me want to come back. For 1 person this place was perfect. I slept well, showered good and after a long day out, I had a place to come back to in a private spot vs a hotel with constant flow of traffic. I would definitely come back to this spot again. 10/10 Thank you for letting stay here!

Nice property in a centralized location with all the food in the world around the location. It was a nice walk to the ocean front, an easy walk to the convention center, and the weather was so nice I even walked to the airport for my flight home.

Our stay was lovely with one exception…wasn’t able to unload car upon arrival in the designated parking area although it wasn’t occupied..Also wouldn’t let us temporarily unload after a short trip to get groceries.
