Just one block away, India Street offers tons of dining options, especially classic Italian spots that serve up delicious, authentic dishes. If you're in the mood for something more upscale, Kettner Boulevard—also known as “Top Chef Alley”—is nearby and packed with restaurants run by celebrity chefs. Every Saturday from 8 AM to 2 PM, the Little Italy Farmers' Market takes over several blocks, offering fresh local produce, flowers, coffee, prepared foods, and handmade goods.

Great location with lots to do

This is a great little VRBO with all the things a family from Montana needed. It is right on the heart of Little Italy. Walking distance to so many things!! Due to location you can catch an Uber very easily as well. We loved the ease of jumping on the Interstate or just traveling the neighborhoods near by. The floor is thin so you can hear lots happening upstairs but there was no late night activity or early morning nonsense. The garbage system of only being available on the morning was foreign to us but talking to the neighbors we figured out a solution. Overall great experience!!!

Amazing location, great hosts

This place is fantastic. The beds were comfortable, it had everything we needed and it was the perfect home base for exploring San Diego. It is a little quirky, but you can't beat the location (you can almost see the Little Italy fountain from the front of the building). It is daylight level (partly below ground), which we didn't mind at all. The parking was just a few steps away on the ground level in a garage next door (super convenient).

Midway Get Away

We were very pleased with our stay! Very clean and well stocked with towels, blankets, etc. washer and dryer a big bonus. My husband LOVES baseball, so we both enjoyed the memorabilia. Luckily nothing Dodgers! Little Italy is basically across the street. We brought our teenage grandsons to visit the Midway and they loved the pool table. Sorry to leave and we will be back.

Great little apartment in great neighborhood

My family greatly enjoyed this apartment and the ease of parking in the garage next door. The neighborhood has tons of restaurants and shops all within walking distance. Don't use a GPS when trying to get there. Just use a map and start further down on Columbus and you will be just fine.

Fantastic location, steps away from Little Italy

Everything was as in the pictures. Had a little issue with water leaking in through the walls but hey it never rains in San Diego, except this time. The owner was extremely responsive and went above to fix and make sure we were satisfied. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Cozy in the city

It was a small apartment, but it had absolutely everything you could want. A fully equipped and spiced out kitchen, laundry room, bedrooms, and a whole pool table. Some nights it was tough deciding if we should go out or enjoy the apartment. But the place was literally a 10 second walk from the heart of little Italy. We got breakfast every morning at the square, and got drinks and ice cream every night. It was so conveniently placed, it was impossible to make excuses about going out

We loved that we could just walk, safely, to reach any food our hearts desired. Easy access to all of downtown and points beyond. We are major sports fans and l Ioved all the memorabilia, each day discovering something new. We hope to come back again.

Perfect location in San Diego

The location is perfect, in the middle of Little Italy. It is a very nice and safe neighborhood. You can walk anywhere from here. For a little more than the cost of a hotel, you can have lots more room in this sporty apartment. The kitchen had all that was needed to cook a Thanksgiving meal. I would definitely stay here again!
