Beautifully Restored Downtown Victorian

This impeccable historic apartment is in a perfect downtown San Diego location, only 5 blocks to the Gaslamp District and equally close to the outdoor cafes of Little Italy. A vintage gem surrounded by luxury towers, this 2-bedroom is part of four newly restored Victorian buildings, and is beautifully and artfully furnished with wood floors, two queen beds, and a fully equipped kitchen. This unique suite has all the comforts of a hotel and all the charm of a boutique inn.

In the center of downtown San Diego, just minutes from the airport and the convention center, Victoria Square is the perfect base from which to discover San Diego. Blocks to the harbor, the San Diego Opera, and Horton Plaza, this location is also only a few minutes walk to the San Diego trolley, and boasts easy freeway access to all beaches and attractions. Walking distance to the House of Blues, as well as to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Victoria Square is also only a five-minute drive from the famous San Diego Zoo and Balboa Park cultural center.

Convenient and clean

The location was convenient for many tourist locations, although the immediate neighborhood was a little run down. The layout worked well for a group of three, with two en suites. The kitchen was minimally stocked. There wasn’t enough comfortable seating in the living room. Overall, the place was very clean.

Victorian in downtown San Diego

No problems. Great location for a conference at the Marriott Marquis. Apartment had all the necessities. Old house but attractive. Front porch nice place to sit. Very comfortable beds. Manager very responsive.

Convient

Although the neighborhood is a bit sketchy, it is conveniently situated between Gas Lamp and Little Italy. The extra security of the street gate was appreciated. If you're on foot, it is definitely worth getting back before dark. However, it was easy for Ubers to pick up and drop off. The unit itself is no-frills (the couch really does suck!), but does provide two suitable rooms.

Great Character and Charm

The stay (a couple of weeks ago) was for both business and pleasure. The location is great; close enough for a short walk to Gaslamp or Little Italy for any food. This does not include all the places in between. The train is a mere 5 blocks away if you cut over then down and can be made closer if planned out. Other vacationers were pleasant for front porch conversations in the evening. The modest kitchen more than served it's purpose and the bathrooms are clean and useful. I will say though the beds were a bit harder than I prefer, and the box spring was a bit noisy when getting into and out of the bed. Those are mere personal preferences. We did have an issue with a caretaker damaging the front porch post; however, this was reported and received well for future maintenance. The check in process was very thorough, detailed and useful making it stress-free and easy. Building access is just as convenient with information in hand. Hopefully next year can be just as good! Thank you Urban Sands!

Amazing location and beautiful apartment. Having parking on the premises was awesome. Lots of bugs. Flys, gnats, bugs on the mattress. Even dead bugs in the fridge.

not comfortable

proximity to downtown, little italy, coronado and balboa park are great. however, the urine smell and homeless sleeping on the sidewalk out front aren’t great. once inside, the unit is super cute, very clean and well maintained for a victorian of that age. unfortunately, it seems that the furniture, appliances and kitchen utensils were all purchased at the local thrift store. there is no place for a family of four to sit and eat. the futon sofa is literally so uncomfortable you can’t sit on it. same for the queen sized bed. my kids (8 & 10) refused to sleep on the mattress because the springs were poking them. not a comfortable stay at all.

Great location. Convenient to the San Diego attractions that we were interested in seeing! My suggestions to the property-owners/managers would be: invest some bucks in improving the furniture at this otherwise great property. A real couch, chairs and a bed that doesn’t creak when you breathe would be good starters. Firm pillows and quality bedding would be appreciated as well as shelves in the bathrooms to be able to place your belongings and more towels. With a little tlc, this could be a great place!
