great house, great communication

My family of 4 enjoyed our stay at this property and found it had great amenities and a fantastic location to everything we wanted to access in San Diego. It was also kid safe with enough room for them to move around. The only tiny issues we had were that the floors were pretty dusty upon check in but it didn't impact our stay much.

Nice stay

Location is good, walking distance to Balboa park. Recommend to walk to the Zoo, which is 15 minutes compared to 30 minutes of driving in traffic jams and parking during busy weekend hours. Apartment is nice, pretty modern. We had a good time. Thanks
