Myself, my mother and 18 month old son stayed at Gigis beautiful home for 6 days whilst on a business trip. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and aside from the lack of microwave (an essential item when travelling with an 18 month old picky eater haha!) the kitchen had everything else we needed to make meals. The location is great if you’re there on business - an easy 30 minute walk to the convention centre, but you need a car if you wanted to go explore the sites (including balboa park, which is right across the highway but a 40 minute walk to get anywhere - it’s huge!) Limited parking spaces were available but we had no problem finding a spot every night for the 6 days we were there. I’d recommend going to Del Mar and la Jolla beaches and the children’s museum in Escondido. The patio is small a bit noisy since you’re next to the highway and airport, so not ideal if you were looking to have some meals on the deck - but fortunately you couldn’t hear any of it (at least hardly) when you’re in for the night!! The air conditioning and heating system was perfect - wish I had something like it at my own home.
We ran into some issues after I left, concerning a misplaced item my son was pawing at during our stay. Gigi was very patient and understanding despite it taking some time to track it down. Overall, it was a great trip, and I’m happy to have stayed there. Thanks Gigi!
