Tao was very helpful and responsive throughout the booking process and our checking in -- it just so happened that we checked in as he was cleaning the other unit and washing the sheets for that unit. Tao also took care of the little things: he provided water and pop (this lasted us the entire stay and saved us from having to buy our own drinks!), and he provided tissue, laundry detergent, paper towels, and cleaning products. This may not seem like a big deal, but it was really convenient :).

At first, the neighbourhood seems a little seedy and remote, but it's perfectly fine. It's just that the neighbourhood is more industrial and not in walking distance of much. However, the location was very safe (we parked our rental on the street every night without any problems) and it was actually very close to everything we wanted to do in San Diego: Coronado, Gaslamp, Mission Beach, North Park, etc. were all only 10-20 minutes away by car.

All in all, very comfortable unit and Tao was wonderful :).
