About this property

Contemporary Style + Pool + Spa + Gym | AvantStay Little Italy

Espresso in the morning, oysters by night, and the bay breeze drifting up the side streets in between. This superior two-bedroom at AvantStay Little Italy puts you in one of San Diego's most walkable neighborhoods, with a smart, self-contained setup that makes it easy to come and go as you please.

The Retreat
2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | Sleeps 4 | Full Kitchen

Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows pull in natural light and city views, while wood-style flooring and quartz countertops keep things crisp and contemporary. The full kitchen has stainless appliances and everything you need to cook in, and an in-unit washer and dryer makes longer stays feel effortless. Smart home tech and keyless entry keep things seamless from arrival to checkout.

The Building
The shared amenities at AvantStay Little Italy are the real showstopper. Head up to the rooftop for a swim in the pool, a soak in the hot tub, or a seat in the sky lounge with panoramic views of San Diego Bay, the downtown skyline, and Balboa Park in the distance. Guests also have access to a BBQ area for sunset grilling, a fully equipped fitness studio, and a pet run for four-legged travelers.

The Neighborhood
Step outside and you're surrounded by the area's Italian roots: family bakeries, handmade pasta, art galleries, and boutique shops along the way. On Saturdays, the Little Italy Mercato fills the streets with farm stands and local makers. Morning Glory for brunch and Ironside Fish & Oyster for raw bar favorites are both just a few blocks away, and Tacos El Gordo is an easy walk into downtown for late-night cravings. The harbor, Seaport Village, Balboa Park, and the San Diego Zoo are all close by, and with good transit right in the neighborhood, the rest of the city is easy to reach.

Please note: while amenities throughout each space are as advertised, layout and decor may vary.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we're at your service!

The property is modern and clean, will all amenities that a person may need. Enjoyed the rooftop pool and jacuzzi, and bbq area. Other guest and residents were friendly and helpful. Very walkable to nearby spots like the Music Box, Little Italy Farmers Market, and Gaslamp. Would recommend for families who want to stay together.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, location
Great rooftop pool, comfortable kitchen and living room. Xlnt location and easy walk to Little Italy. Poor soundproofing for a second floor unit near a fire station, and looking out on a motel 6 parking lot and freeway on-ramp - all to say it’s very loud at night. Bedroom window coverings do little to block light from street or other buildings. Would probably be fine if you brought ear plugs and eye mask. Unit was largely clean except for a bundle of someone’s hair on the bedroom floor. Bathroom fan didn’t turn on. Bedroom electrical outlet smashed behind bed.

Beautiful clean property. Homeless people across the street with a fight at night. 5 star hotel prices were several hundred dollars a night less. Good location for farmers market and restaurants.
