My partner and I were in San Diego for four days to attend a wedding in Balboa Park, and were looking for something close by that was less expensive than the hotels in the area. James's place was great--nothing fancy, but a perfect location in a quiet, safe neighborhood, and all of the basics we needed. He was also very communicative and brought a hairdryer right over to us when we arrived and let him know there wasn't one in the unit (even though it was late!). We especially enjoyed the little seating area on the outdoor deck, and appreciated having access to shared laundry facilities. Our only negative was that the bed was extremely hard, but if you like a very firm mattress, you'll be right at home!
