Steve's place was perfect and exactly as pictured. It is located less than a block from the beach. The beach near Steve's place was never crowded and was a good spot to catch some waves. The neighborhood was not loud at night, which was nice since we kept the windows open during the evening. The grill on the balcony was especially nice and we ended up grilling two nights during our stay. The apartment is equipped with everything we needed, from cooking utensils to bath towels. Next time we're in San Diego, we will definitely see if Steve's place is available.
