Schickes Loft im Balboa Park

There is free parking directly across the street. I am sorry you missed that.

There is free parking directly in front!

Thank you for your kind words about the loft, its cleanliness, and its convenient location. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and would consider returning! Regarding parking, as clearly stated in our listing, there is free and metered parking along 6th Avenue (with posted street sweeping restrictions on Thursdays from 7–10 a.m.), free parking directly across the street, two-hour free parking on 5th Avenue, and metered parking in front. Vehicles are also subject to the city's 72-hour parking limit, so spaces do turn over. While we appreciate the photos and your observations, it's a bit surprising to receive such detailed criticism of parking availability when you did not have a vehicle or need parking during your stay. We provide accurate parking information so guests can plan accordingly, but naturally, we cannot guarantee the availability of public street parking. We're happy that, overall, you had a wonderful visit!

We're sorry to hear that the location was not a good fit for your stay or why you continued your stay. However, we do want to clarify that the property's proximity to San Diego International Airport and the potential for city and flight path noise are clearly disclosed in the listing. This disclosure is provided so guests can make an informed decision before booking. The loft is located in downtown San Diego, which is a vibrant urban environment near the airport. Aircraft noise is an external factor that we cannot control, and it is not unique to our property. For guests who are particularly sensitive to noise, we also provide earplugs as an added courtesy. We understand that noise tolerance varies from person to person, but describing the listing as "misleading" is not accurate. The flight path disclosure is included in the listing prior to booking, and we strive to be transparent about the property's location and surroundings so guests know what to expect.

I suggest in the future you read the description before booking so that you aren’t surprised by information that is readily available to you. You mentioned that your family lives on the same street, which makes your comments regarding the location and surrounding environment somewhat confusing. I am sorry that you missed the disclosure in our listing, which states: "Please note this property is in downtown and in the landing flight pattern for San Diego. It is subject to city noise, air traffic, and emergency vehicles. Close proximity to the airport, hospitals, and freeways." We even provide earplugs for light sleepers, which appears to have been overlooked as well.
