We enjoyed our stay at The Artifact. Clean room and good location in San Diego. Had many amenities including a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and more. Felt home-y and comfortable.
very clean, quiet and beautiful studios. there was no front desk to hold my suitcases for me. I asked for water bottle and extra coffee cream but they didn’t provide it.
but the room and stay and location was awesome
Nice little studio apartment very well appointed, very clean. A couple of drawbacks, it's on a Second story. I had a lot of stuff to carry up the stairs...There's no elevator.
No parking on site. Downtown Parking can be anywhere from 30 to 60 dollars a night, not included, The worst part was shower head was horrible.The flow is so light. Even with short hair, it took me 3 minutes. Just to rinse my hair. I highly suggest a new shower head.
I was very happy with the level of cleanliness, location, and guest services. Thank you very much for fantastic stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was cute and the locations worked out well for us. The host was very responsive and helpful.
We both hated the mattress.
Would’ve nice to have a drip coffee maker not just the Keurig.
Very clean, great communication and loved the layout and open space and amenities. Will be returning and I totally recommend staying here.

I stayed for 3 nights for work. The room was fabulous. Clean and cute. The bed was so comfortable! Check in was easy and even though there are no staff on site, they communicated well and responded fast. It was safe and quiet even though it was Halloween weekend and the streets were a party! I was able to walk to petco park in 8 minutes. I will definitely book here again when I’m back in San Diego.
Amazing place in a great area! Parking is a struggle but here is the cheat code! Instead of parking 40$+ overnight or paying 10$ per hour in downtown - park in neighborhoods then uber down for 11$.
