Great Weekend Getaway
We had a great time in San Diego. The rental is located in a nice neighborhood; local shops within walking distance, so put on your hikingboots. The street has a bit of an incline. Don't forget your parking brake! Easy to get to the freeway and we were at Coronado Beach in no time. The furnishings are comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals. We had an early Thanksgiving meal with our nephew who is stationed at the naval base. We would definitely rent again.
