Sunshine on Madison Avenue

The property was lovely, with native plantings surrounding the home, and wide views of the blue sky and flowering shrubs. Inside the home was comfortable and well appointed. Our only frustration was that the deadbolt on the entrance door would not respond to the passcode, despite numerous attempt. I messaged with the manager who eventually connected me with the local representative for the property. We made arrangements to gain access that evening, with a promise of repairing the locking system by the following morning. All was handled professionally.

70th Sibling Bday Celebration

Local San Diegan staying with my adult children to celebrate my sibling birthday. Mid location to sibling house in Lemon Grove and access to freeway to get to the to beach. Loved the University Heights neighborhood. Went to two restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance.Walked to Footnote bookstore. Happened to be Comic Con weekend so we figured the price would be higher than “normal”weeks. It was worth the extra per night charge.Downside-major construction noise. Looks like city overhaul of pipes? Warm weekend and needed open windows and fans.

Such a nice little house

Ideal location to Balboa Park. The house was really lovely. Consider bringing your own dish towels; I'm glad I did.
