Shirley was a an extremely gracious host. The apartment was clean, well appointed and very comfortable. My sisters and I truly felt at home. She left clean towels and fresh fruit and granola welcomed us when we arrived. The patio was perfect and I was free to do my yoga and exercises like I was right at home. The apartment was a quick 10 minute drive downtown where I was attending a conference and I am so glad we stayed with her instead of a hotel. Shirley is a San Diego native and had lots of great suggestions about where to see and day. I would highly recommend her home to any travelers visiting San Diego.
