We've visited San Diego many times & I wish we had found Tom & Al's place sooner! My son & I were helping my older son pack up from college at UCSD in La Jolla but we had plans to do many things more in the city so we looked for a place closer to attractions. Tom & Al's is in the Golden Hill neighborhood & felt very safe & friendly, full of historic homes. Our space is in the oldest home in the neighborhood but was completely updated so all the conveniences of a newer spot in a cool old house. For our tech needs there's a Smart TV, USB outlets, good free wifi. Check in was super easy with a lock box on our deck. We are huge cat lovers so were thrilled that they care for rescued kitties in the neighborhood so they can be found hanging around & are super sweet & friendly. We had a rental & this unit includes free driveway parking but there always seemed to be (free) street parking as well right nearby. Within walking distance are many cute restaurants & grocers for anything you need. My son enjoyed using the Lyft scooters that were always available around. We had food delivered one night & they found the house easily. The 5 is a couple blocks away, so easy to get around. The place was stylish and super clean. We got to chat with Al & he is incredible and sweet & I feel like we made a new friend. I know we'll be back to the area and can't wait to stay at Tom & Al's again. In fact, we'll schedule trips so that we can!
