Wonderful experience of the apartment in SD! Clean and full set of kitchen and bathroom. Safety courtyard in the downtown area. Near all the bus and train stations which is no need to rent a car. Manager will send the code when check in hours and keep tracking about your travel time. Highly recommended!

Great spot, great room

Was really blown away by how comfortable this place was. I came to San Diego to attend a professional meeting at the convention center, and booked The Artifact rather than a conventional hotel kind of on a whim. I didn’t really realize that it was more of a short term rental than hotel, so was a little confused at the beginning. But it ended up being the perfect distance to the convention center and extremely comfortable. Plus having a laundry machine saved my bacon after a curry incident! Would love to come back again.

As soon as ypu walk in you can see a significant difference from the pictures. I purposefully asked to stay on the bottom floor because we have a toddler. When we received the entry codes, I noticed we were on the 3rd floor. I said, two flights, no big deal. When we went in to the apartment it was the size of a small room. Maybe 150 - 200 square feet. We considered staying and sat on the bed. The bed frame moved and we sunk into the bed. I looked under the bed and the frame was bent. It looked like someone was jumping on the bed and bent the frame. It had been rocked back and foward from the damage on the floor. I asked if they had a different room and reveived no reply. We looked over into the kitchen areaand noticed the washing machine in the kitchen was slanted. It wasnt leveled and if it wasnt inside of a wooden frame, it would fall. It was missing the base legs kn the left side. Since we received no reply we decided to vacate because of the size and the conditions of the bed. On our way out we noticed that the lock mechanisms was about to fa off. It looked like someone tried kicking or forcing the door open. That when we finally decided to leave. The property is nice but the condition of our unit did nkt feel safe. They replied 2 hours later but by then, we were already gone. I asked on how to go about a refund and all they said was, "We have a strict cancelation fee." And said nothing else about it. I do not recoment staying here unless you want to be broken into.

Possibly consider sharing the check in instructions a little sooner. Did not need the codes, however, would have liked the instructions sooner. Otherwise great unit in perfect location for our stay. Thank you.

Expedia users should be aware that this is not a hotel. It is a vacation rental-type property. When you arrive you'll see a big wall with an unmarked door and a key pad. There is no staff on site--the managers/owners will email you the codes (one for the courtyard, one for the building and one for your room) to get in at your check-in time. Once we got over our surprise, it was great! Very nicely appointed studio with a kitchen, a short walk to the thick of the Gas Lamp district and Petco Park. There are a couple of nice breakfast places nearby--we liked Breakfast Republic.

Great property, but

Had to sleep in my car (arrived at 1 am). Forgot the door code the next day. No phone number to contact property management on either occation. No mention of uploading ID and receiving entry codes for stay. I really like the property and the staff is super friendly when you can find them. used to be a platinum member when I traveled more. And the apps really gone down hill when it comes to customer service.
