Great location!

We enjoyed our stay. Place was neat & very clean & bright. Kitchen was very nice & had all the things needed. The only thing we missed was Kleenex/tissue. Also, faucet in bathroom splashed water all around the sink, so we used one of the extra towels to sop it up.

Cute apartment in wonderful location

We had a great stay at this property and wouldn’t hesitate to return. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. The location is wonderful for exploring San Diego—walking distance to Balboa Park and close to downtown and the airport.
