Jonathan was at the ready if we needed anything at all - both before we arrived and during our stay. He chatted with us a bit but left us to our privacy. He was a wonderful host and obviously loves his city. The location was fabulous - right in the middle of the Hillcrest district which is very funky with restaurants, a Whole Foods and Trader Joe's and Bread and Cie, a great bakery, and some beautiful homes tucked in between the apartments with gorgeous flora. It's right near a bus line that takes you to Old Town and the Gaslamp District and it is an easy walk to the San Diego Zoo, a must see for everyone. You can easily spend an entire day there and want to come back again. The only drawback for sensitive ears is the garage door which opens and closes periodically under the unit. I am a light sleeper and even I did used to it after a while! But the neighborhood, itself, which is fairly densely packed is quite quiet even on the week-ends. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and some spices. The price is very fair and we would definitely consider staying there again.
