Lovely neighborhood
The space is very clean and many necessities are thoughtfully provided. The neighborhood is awesome! It has easy access to everything we wanted to do in San Diego. Downsides: The couch in the family room is uncomfortable and just does not work for anyone with back or knee problems. A variety of seating options would be nice. Feather pillows kept me sneezing all week. All in all, though, a great place to stay!

Review of property
Nice property, the only thing, unless I didn’t read the information properly on the app was the washer and dryer was in the garage that we had to go through our alley way to get to it, and it was attached to another unit which I didn’t realize until we got there.
