We had a good stay at this condo. The location was great, right by the beach and tons of shops and restaurants within walking distance. We enjoyed the big patio overlooking the beach, and the (shared) hot tub too. Free parking was a definite plus. The condo was well stocked and comfy. The owner was extremely responsive when we lost the key. He made a new one and delivered it to us within 40 minutes, which was a vacation-saver! The only drawbacks to this building were that you have to take an elevator and meander through the building to get to and from the beach. You can’t just hop on and off the beachfront patio. A minor inconvenience, but required some planning when heading to and from the beach with all your stuff. There were some loud noises and construction going on in the building near our unit while we were there, starting up early in the morning, but we were out most of the day anyway, so it wasn’t a big deal. Elevators and hallways were a bit rundown and worse for wear, but the condo itself was nice and clean. Overall, a great place and our family had a wonderful time in San Diego!
