I grew up in San Diego, so my wife and I come fairly often to visit family. I know the area well, and this apartment and location were perfect for my wife and me. The host was friendly and very nice to deal with. We would definitely stay at this apartment again.The apartment is lovely, nicely appointed, and immaculately well-kept. It's located in the heart of San Diego's South Park neighborhood, a charming, older, gentrified area of mostly smaller craftsman style homes. Within walking distance are a bookstore and other shops, coffee spots, and many restaurants, including one of San Diego's best spots for southwestern-style BBQ. Also close-by is San Diego's iconic St. Augustine High School. The apartment is minutes by car to the Zoo and other Balboa Park attractions, the Balboa Park golf courses, the bustling Hillcrest neighborhood, downtown San Diego, the airport, Old Town, Point Loma, Coronado, and terrific beaches.The apartment is on the second and third floors, with a large living, kitchen, and dining-nook area on the second floor, and a comfortable bedroom and bath on the third floor. There's also a small balcony area overlooking the garden as well as a small terrace with a table and BBQ. The bedroom has a great view of San Diego's mountain foothills. The immediate area is quiet. The apartment has a parking space; there's ample street parking, too. A quirk is the stain glass window above the bathroom sink. A larger shaving/make-up mirror for that spot would nice.
