I prefer minimalist, all about function ... we get a ton of dust here at the Merian, plants and stuff only collect dirt, its like we are always cleaning

I’ll be moving here next week because of you guys….you’re all welcome to come:)

Thank you for doing a tour of West where I currently reside and love and been here since opening in July 2024! Yes, there is only one entrance to the underground parking garage, open to public parking as well, and it does tend to have a slight backup, not every hour) a lot. It is a great location to live and I found it very nice to walk around day or night and keep in mind that there are not a lot apartments to rent in a radius of the new West building since it is a super business district area, but it is building up. Finally, this is one of many to come, West, for easy access to the Pacific Ocean, Amtrak, the bus right outside door to the airport(Be in LA in an hour with Amtrak or just ride up the coast north ), and of the Courts if you need to and walk right over and nice is that to have near home? PS. The mayor office of San Diego city has done a great job in getting the unhoused population into housing along with its partners so if nice in the less desirable area look very well cleared and with the recent US Supreme decision on sidewalks it was already being worked before the US Supreme Court decision.

Hello. Does this mean I could lease a place and now I could air bnb it out?

we have silver frames on our windows at the Merian, yes the black frames are more noticeable ... I don't even use the common spaces, the gym once in a while ... the prices keep going up with every new building

Did you match your top and mic on purpose? 😂

its already a frat party down here at the Merian on the weekends with airbnb strictly forbidden ... moving is a nightmare tho once you are settled in

Hey Eshi, stunning, absolutely gorgeous how you’ve curated your space. I remember the initial unfurnished tour. I’m still here in Detroit (on Griswold), currently in the snow no less. We do have the new Residences at River Square on the former Joe Louis Arena site, which are phenomenal but still doesn’t change the weather LOL!!!

Hi. I love the content and the voice over, so please don’t take these two suggestions the wrong way: 1) Use the wide angle camera lens 2) Reduce the number of time you move your camera around. This video was nauseating because everything felt so up close and the camera kept panning fast.

I live at Diega now in the biggest corner unit with a roommate but the bedrooms are small. I love the size of these one bedrooms and the views of the A5 floor plan. I’ll be moving to a one bedroom and toured the west this weekend. Great views and space. I wish the balcony’s were double if not triple the size lol amazing 37th floor though!

Nice video. Diega seems more spacious.

I live in Little Italy. This is a great channel!

Ahh I have 3 big windows in my living room and no normal curtain rod is wide enough - where did you get yours?

I’m moving to SD next week due to military orders. Your videos helped me a lot.

Girl. Keep going. This was such a joy to watch.

Absolutely stunning!

Love it, Eshi! If anyone is interested in a tour, I’d love to show you The Lindley!

A Beautiful living space from top to bottom. You are one of the best at doing Video's - And I love Your Cat , many years ago I had a Snow White Silver Tipped long haired Persian when I lived in Harborview Apts next to Embassy Suites.

Why would you pay $4500 in rent when that is equal to an $800,000 mortgage at 4-5%

Nice place, Eshi! Definitely inspired me to up my decor game. South facing 2 bedroom with that balcony and view is a dream 😁 Cheers.

I like our floor plan better at the Merian but you made good use of your space ... all those Harry Potter books and not one bible? ... only a Buddha? Buddha' can't save you from hell!

how did you tape your sheer curtains to the wall? is it some velcro tape you bought on amazon? I have the same windows and curtains but I used rods and it doesn't look as clean, thanks, nice couch

This is a nice couch, and I suggest to buy foam later on to replace the back cushions.

Holland is probably going to do the same thing with West as they did with the Merian, first they charge as much as they can for rent and give you the five star treatment, once the building is full they will sell it off like they did with the Merian which was sold to a trillion dollar private equity firm called Brookfield. Then Brookfield will cut expenses to the max, laying off employees, making them work twice as much for the same job, then the good employees will leave and will be substituted with new less experienced ones with lower salaries and a much higher workload and they will cut the budget for everything. Our washing machine broke down and it can't be fixed because the Merian doesn't have the budget to pay a third party vendor who provides parts, whom they haven't paid in a long time for parts. None of the original management is here anymore, half the maintenance left, we often have no one in the office, they work from another building they also manage and the jobs of reception, parking and security there are new temp employees every 3 months or less. Much less window washings, garage sweeps, etc. Even the air filters for the AC they are buying the cheapest possible ones and maintenance is super backlogged and it takes a while for them to get to you. Management also responds to less than half the emails you send them, most of the time you get an out of office reply. This certainly is a factor and one should look carefully at who owns the building. Holland is mostly construction, they can sell their buildings off at a profit. Brookfield as a private equity firm only cares about maximizing profits, they don't care if the company they bought goes bankrupt and is later sold off again as long as they make a profit. Terrible! and once you are settled into an apartment its a ton of work to have to move and start over again.

Hi Eshi! I’m moving to SD soon. Which buildings are your top three that are luxury but not quite West or Radian prices? I toured Diega so far, and am looking at the Rey and ALX. Must have a rooftop or similar pool haha! A Diega studio is right at my budget limit basically. Thanks in advance.

Now I want a green couch

Updated review after 2.5yrs if you're interested! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJibdn6LbrCkoK8

Cant wait to get mine. It'll take awhile to save up. Great informative review. Ordered 2 swatches.

Ok, Eshi...next time you're back here, you're designing my house. Cuz...wtf

11:55 for a laugh. Window drawings!!

lived in San Diego a full year now and looking for my second apartment, so would move here if it wasn't 5000 for 2 b 2 b :/

Not very good value for money IMO especially to consider luxury

This was an excellent tour. Thank You

Thank you for the great video❤

what kind of shower filters do you use? we bought some on amazon, we are in east village too at the Merian ... yeah water is very hard but I thought it was every six months you have to change those water filters

We live at the Merian, also built by Holland, very similar buildings ... there's not much to do in that area unless you work in the court system

Eshi Eshi Eshi...

1. I moved to downtown San Diego last year and your videos helped TREMENDOUSLY, more than any other resource. Thank you! 2. I'm moving into The Lindley next month. Super excited. Looks like a phenomenal building.

Love the videos reason why I got a high rise apartment thank you

For those prices u don’t get a parking spot included? That’s ridiculous. Nice apartment building for sure but the nickel and dime-ing is annoying af.

Nice review ! In the know when it comes to downtown SD living! The Lindley is a very classy building, would like to see prices come down in the next year as well haha

Thanks for all your San Diego apartment videos, they have been so helpful as I'm looking around the area to move in the beginning of the year! Once I have a bit more money, I'm looking forward to potentially living in one of these buildings downtown!

I love your videos so much! This looks really nice and will definitely be on my list in the next few years but will do some further research. Thanks y’all!

Imma do this in my next apartment but I’m so scared

I’m in San Diego - looking to move here and touring the apartments. Did a tour of 800 broadway and I can’t wait to see it finished! It seems pretty nice

Sitting in my room right now with an ice pack on my bikini/brazilian after my laser session and can relate to EVERYTHING you are saying! I was squirming in the session, saying that it was very hot than usual, and she kept on going. And my skin is naturally tan/dark, and recently I was at the beach and although I used SPF, it is so true our skin naturally does darken even if its a little bit and we don't plan to tan. My skin was on fire and I began to cry. Although she at least was very apologetic and took me upstairs, iced the area, gave me these free products and she's going to provide me treatments for free to ensure the area heals as quickly as possible and no lasting pigmentation/scarring. But I've got these reddish/purplish marks on my skin right now. I just wish I advocated for myself in the session though just as you are saying 😢

I just received my Sabai loveseat and ottoman. My cat and I are loving it.

Please do more San Diego apartment tours. Thinking about moving there in 1.5 years from Chicago 👌

Glad to see this series return ! Keep the apartment vids coming !
