Great neighborhood
Our family of four spent five nights at this vacation rental. It was the perfect San Diego location with easy access to local attractions and the freeway. I loved the Neighborhood and took multiple walks to the local coffee shop, grocery store, and Italian restaurant. The host was helpful when we were missing some needed bedding. I loved sitting out on the patio for coffee or meals. Would definitely stay here again.
We stayed 6/8-6/15. Check in was easy they didnt have my # programmed so i had to call the property manager it was an easy fix. The apartment is cute but you cannot sleep 5 comfortably! Dishes/pots/pans we very nice! It was a great location. The patio was cute and grill was great! Property manager was very responsive and helpful. I'd stay here again with my husband, but not as a whole family due to small space! Overall we had an awesome trip!!!
