Great sport to stay in Down town San Diego. Close to everything. On the 22nd floor there’s a great pool and hang out lounge. Very clean and safe. Def would stay here again.
The place was very clean and we thoroughly enjoyed the gorgeous rooftop pool and hot tub. The security guard on duty during our stay was fantastic. The only complaint I have is they do not allow early check in and would not let us drop our bags off. Our flight arrived at 11:00 AM and we could not check in until 4:00 PM. We had no rental car and had to scramble to find something to do for hours with four suitcases. It would have been so much nicer if we could have dropped them off and walked to lunch or something.
Went for a marathon I was going to run and this was very close to the finish line.
We found out it's also very close to Little Italy and we could walk down to the marina as well. Great location.
The apartment was very clean had a full sized washer and dryer, a nice little kitchen, and a keurig coffee maker along with some pods.
We were on the second floor so we got a bit of noise from the street below but it didn't bother us too much.
The pool deck on the roof was perfect. Great views. Not one child was up there during out visit, not saying kids are bad!! But it was very quiet and relaxing. Most people up there were just laying out.
I'd definitely stay here again just on a higher floor.
Loved this property! Very nice amenities. Parking was a breeze, we were able to find free street parking for the entirety of our stay. We felt safe and it was close to the freeway and major attractions. We would stay again for sure.
I was initially a bit hesitant to book this property because there were not many reviews available. However, my wife and I had a wonderful stay while visiting for our anniversary.
The check-in process was seamless, and the accommodation was exceptionally clean, which was a huge plus for us. During our stay, I had a quick question about the HVAC system and sent a text to the property manager. They responded promptly and resolved the issue right away, which I greatly appreciated.
Another major advantage was the location. The property is conveniently situated near many places, including Little Italy. Once my wife and I became familiar with the area, we found that we could easily walk to many restaurants, bars and shops. One thing to note is that because the property is centrally located in the city, it can be somewhat noisy at night. If you are particularly sensitive to noise, this is something to keep in mind. That said, it did not negatively impact the overall quality of our stay.
Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely recommend Ancora by AvantStay to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located place to stay in San Diego.
I had an issue checking in, it was difficult to get a response quickly. But overall, the apartment is very nice. We had a great stay regardless! The amenities are 5stars!

Under the bed was thick dust - you could see where the mop had gone. Dishes in cabinet were dirty. Not able to store luggage waiting for room. View of Evan’s Tires so blinds were closed most of the time.
Close to Little Italy which was nice. Close to convention center but not the best security in walking at night.

Es una muy buena opción para hospedarte, el personal de Ancora fue muy amable.
Las instalaciones están en excelente estado, el departamento cuenta con todo lo necesario para tener una muy buena estancia. Muy limpio.
Lo único complicado es que no tiene estacionamiento propio, pero eso se puede solucionar con estacionamientos cercanos o bien buscando lugar para estacionarte en la calle.
El mejor lugar donde me he quedado, las fotos no le hacen justicia al lugar, la habitacion con una vista excelente, el edificio bellísimo y moderno, el area social esta para nunca salir del edificio, piscina climatizada con la mejor vista de la ciudad y los aviones cruzan frente al rooftop para una experiencia inolvidable. Caminando a Little italy y super tranquila la zona, no dire mas porque no terminare de decir cosas buenas de este lugar. 100% Recomendado.
