Stephanie and Nate are the kind of hosts who truly want their guests to have the best experience possible. The space was as advertised, small but comfortable and very thoughtfully done with nice touches. The patio is large and we enjoyed sitting out there quite a bit as it stays very shady throughout the day. I attended a conference and my fiance studied for an upcoming exam in the apartment. We did take time to enjoy some of the wonderful restaurants Little Italy has to offer. There is so much within easy walking distance of the apartment. And the place is only a couple blocks back from the bay, which was a nice surprise. San Diego is having a heat wave, like much of the US. When we mentioned to Stephanie and Nate that the apartment stayed warm overnight, they immediately purchased and brought an additional fan and a small A/C unit. We were comfortable for the rest of our stay! They really do want their guests to have a good experience. Nate made a reservation for us at Ironside, one of his restaurants. The highlight was the octopus appetizer he recommended - give it a try! Anyway, our experience was exceptional and we would absolutely stay with Stephanie and Nate again. Highly recommend.
