We had a wonderful time in San Diego and having the apartment was a big part of the experience. Al met all of our needs and answered our questions satisfactorily. The location and the beachside patio are the highlights of this rental! The garage is also a very nice feature, especially to avoid daily street cleaning tickets. The interior of the place was functional and comfortable, but could use a little maintenance and updating. We spent nearly all our time outdoors so it was not an issue for us. The only negatives for the apartment are no air conditioning (but fans are provided) and being right in the flight path of the airport. Planes are taking off from 6 a.m. to midnight, so you have to get used to the noise. All in all, I would recommend the apartment to anyone that wants a great location but doesn't need all the frills.
