Been traveling all over the country and…read moreI have stayed in many different hotels and apartments, so I have a decent amount of places to compare to this fantastic studio. I was impressed with all the little extras like organic soap (made locally), luxurious shower with two different heads, reverse osmosis drinking water, free wi-fi and cable. It was also nice to get to do my laundry there (another freebie) while sitting in the hammock under an amazingly fragrant trumpet tree. It felt good to know that the owner of this property cares enough about the environment to install solar panels on this property. When was the last time you noticed solar panels on the local Marriott? The location to this place was so conveniently located to Balboa Park as well as South and North Park my girlfriend and I usually just rode our bikes. I can't wait for my return trip to San Diego because I will be definitely staying at the Eco Studio again. Thank you to the extremely hospitable Sean for making our San Diego stay so memorable!

I remember years ago they used to offer free debit cards through Wyndham, but that promotion is no longer available. I gave the hotel 3 stars because it felt like a very basic, modern property. Nothing particularly extravagant, even in the lobby. I did enjoy browsing the snacks available for purchase in the lobby.

The room I rented was a 10' x 9' space with a ceiling height of 6', divided in half by a partition…read morecobbled together of corrugated steel roofing panels and bare two-by-fours. This partition was built directly against the bed, thereby requiring one person to crawl over the other in order to get to the toilet. The door to that toilet is a sliding piece of sharp-edged sheet metal, which cannot be opened or closed quietly. There is no window in the room, and obtaining any outside air required leaving the door open. However, there's no security- or screen door, so that's not an option. Besides, the dryer from the utility room vents right next to the entry to the room I rented; thus, the room's air was either filled with dryer fumes if the entry door was open, or a stale mix of unfinished drywall and bare lumber odors if it was shut. The overall effect was that of staying in a cramped, dank corner of someone's badly converted garage. My wife was simply unable to breath, and although I paid for a stay of four nights, we left after one. I requested a refund on our unused nights' lodging, which the property owner declined to provide. He also said he'd take legal action if I posted a negative review of my stay, so I've limited my comments to those whose veracity may be unquestionably confirmed. And of course I'll delete this posting if the owner provides a copy of the building permit for the conversion of the room I rented. I've posted a few photos of that room. Take a look for yourself, and see if you'd pay 74 bucks for a night's stay. I certainly wouldn't have, if the owner's photos advertising this room had been as revealing as the photos I've shared here.

I end up staying in so many hotels…read morethat they all start looking alike, to the point where if they shift a couch location on me I pull a Dick Van Dyke and fall over it every morning for a while. That being said, if you're a frequent traveler you know it's the little things like having a proper kitchen and living room that makes the difference between a home away from home and an art-deco furnished solitary confinement cell. Even if you don't travel that much it's still nicer to stay at a comfortable and more social place in my opinion and upfront San Diego fits the bill. Just check the site for pictures and that should be enough; the house is basically soundproof from the outside noise so no worries about being disturbed, the beds are extremely comfortable and the outside deck areas are extremely relaxing. All in all it's as close as you'll get to home on the road and for a lot less than any comparable hotel you'll find in the area.

Almost seven years later, I've now stayed at this property a couple more times and still recommend…read moreit. Most recently we stayed in room 555 as a family and had no issues. Rates were competitive online, service was friendly at check-in and from cleaning staff, parking and wifi are free, and the room was safe, clean and comfortable, which is all I really ask for. The property seems to have had a face lift and the buildings have been repainted for a vintage vibe, there's plenty of plants and flowers on property, making it feel more like a resort and less like a motel. If there's anything to note, I would say that the gap under the bottom of the door is a bit large so bugs could easily get in - but we did not see any, and carpets were exceptionally clean.

Also, it's important to…read morenote that we are still dealing with the "damaged" towel situation, and we've offered to pay $10. They wanted $20 but their rules state the charge to replace a bath towel is $15. They've also accused us of smoking in the unit!!! That is an outrageous accusation since my husband has COPD and we both have asthma. "Hi Robin Jo, Thank you so much for your feedback as this inspires us to be better in the future. We would like to clarify some things about the feedback. For the location of the room & the parking, please know that we were very transparent about the location of the apartment & the parking. We encourage our guests that if they will be bringing two vehicles with them, the other car should utilize the street parking & we always let them know ahead of time. **You may have been "transparent" about the location and parking, but as everyone knows, in San Diego, "plenty of street parking" means nothing when there are plenty of cars taking up every available space on the street! So, technically there isn't "plenty" of parking on the street, that is a misnomer. Also, we had no idea the unit was on the 2nd floor, we were not told that. For the check-in process, we normally ask our guests to complete the form for us to know their time of arrival & the details of their car/s. We also ask them t submit identification to ensure that we are hosting the correct guest. **Submitting identification is one thing, your check in process was still above and beyond what most AirBnb's require. For the security device, it is optional to alarm your system if you are going out as long as you will lock the door, then it won't be opened by anyone as we are practicing a keyless entry. We also have our security team who monitors the in & out of the unit. **I saw the alarm panel, there was no way to set the alarm when leaving. And there wouldn't be, because it requires a code that we were not given. We know this since we have our own alarm system on our own home.** For the bed, you could have informed us that your wife (review was written from my husband's point of view) has a back problem for us to ensure that you will be comfortable during your entire stay. **There was no way of knowing that the bed would be so soft so how would we know we needed to inform them of that issue? And what would they have done to alleviate any issues, move in another bed??** For the dishwasher, please know that we practice cleaning as you go as our cleaners are only responsible to clean the unit and that does not include washing the dishes. We won't be charging $45 as long as you follow the check-out instructions. **All I said was, it was unusual to be *required* to do the dishes upon check out.** For the extra guest, we allow extra guests to be on the property as long as they will leave the unit on or before 11 PM. The reason why we charge fees for extra guests is as we have only prepared the room for the indicated number of guests on the reservation. **Your rules *clearly stated* (it has now since changed) a $10 - $20 charge for any unapproved extra guests on the property will be assessed. No mention of guests being allowed until 11pm for no additional fees. Again, the rules have since changed. Again, thank you for letting us know about your experience. We are still looking forward to your next reservation with us."
