    What's special

    Drop your bags + explore the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, USS Midway Museum + the infamous Little Italy Mercato! All within a nice stroll from the space. Or visiting on business? The Lower Suite is conveniently located + is a quick to jump on the 5 freeway taking you anywhere you need to go in the County. Layout: The lot has two buildings, a front home that is occupied full time and is fully separated from the back of the lot that hosts a secondary structure that has two studios, where this studio is located. This listing is for the Lower Suite and is a mid-term rental and the upstairs suite (the Upper Suite) is an Airbnb, which gives you the option to have friends or family visit during your stay! Both have separate entrances. There is a 2 person maximum per suite at all times to ensure a quiet and comfortable environment for all (unless both suites are booked together). Location: Located in the neighborhood of Banker's Hill on the cusp of Little Italy, the suite has a walk score of 95, most daily errands, dining, and entertainment are easily accessible on foot, as well as Balboa Park, USS Midway, Wed/Sat Little Italy Farmer Market. This location suits travelers seeking balance: a residential feel, urban walkability, and easy access to work, leisure, and transit. Whether you're here for business, extended travel, or temporary housing, you'll have an active yet comfortable urban base. The location is superb being within walking distance to: -Little Italy (and the infamous Little Italy Farmers Market!) - 6 Minute Walk -Balboa Park - 8 Minute Walk -San Diego Waterfront Park + Embarcadero - 15 Minute Walk -San Diego Zoo - 1.5 miles mostly through Balboa Park -The buzzing restaurant district of both Little Italy + Bankers Hill which include eateries, cafes, shops and nightlife! (We will provide all the top recommendations) Guest access: The Suites are located in their own building detached from the front house. Guests access their suites through the private corridor on the right side of the front house via a well lit path. The path leads to the Shared Courtyard devoted to guests, where the Upper Suite stairs lead to their deck overlooking the courtyard and the Private Patio is adjacent to the front house's patio, separated by a privacy fence and potted fruit trees. Other things to note: This property is in the flight path to the San Diego Airport and planes fly overhead during the day and subside at night. The convenient location to Little Italy also means close proximity to the 5 Freeway, which will create a consistent background murmur throughout your stay. Street parking only, which is typically plentiful during the week but can get busy on weekends due to people parking and walking to Little Italy. The front is occupied by a friendly couple and there may be short term guests in the Upper Suite during your stay. Feel free to say hi if you see them otherwise they keep to themselves. The suite is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay in San Diego, including: -Comfortable bed + high end linens with extra towels and beach towels -Comfortable couch + Coffee Table that lifts for lounging, eating, working and playing games -TV + Samsung TV+ Channels -Full kitchenette (microwave, stove + oven, sink, full fridge, freezer, toaster) stocked with all the essentials (and yes even salt + pepper and olive oil spray) -Private Patio -Courtyard that is shared between Lower Suite + Upper Suite with a propane fireplace and dining area -Keurig, Coffee Pods and creamers -Full size mirror + blow dryer for getting ready for your daily excursions! -31 day minimum rental -Utilities Included -Initial cleaning supplies included to get you started but your expense once they run out -The Upper Suite is an Airbnb so no pets of any kind -2 person maximum at all times, (this is the rule for the Upper Suite as well and is heavily enforced for the safety and comfort of all) -Shared courtyard with the Upper Suite but private patio
