The apartment is spotless, comfortable and a great price. John was very friendly and gave us some advice on what to see in the city and the best route to balboa park by bike. It was a great base to explore the city from, although without a car be prepared to walk through the rougher edges of the neighbourhood to get to the gaslamp district. Only a short taxi ride got us to the gorgeous Coronado which is where we spent most days relaxing on the amazing beach.
