We stayed with Shirley for a few months when we first moved to San Diego in order to give us time to acclimate and take our time to find an apartment. Shirley's place was an amazing find and we are so lucky to have stayed there. Shirley herself was always so helpful whether it was finding out about things to do in San Diego, or working through the logistics of moving and researching the area. Her input was always spot on and her advice became a welcome and essential part of our move.
That said, this place is truly great if you want to experience San Diego like a local - we lived there! It was well equipped, clean, and the yard outside was a beautiful added bonus! Two of us lived there for two months, and it was the perfect amount of space for our semi-short/long term stay. The furniture is all very nice and Shirley takes great care of the space, and is super responsive with any concerns. The neighborhood is good because it is quiet and residential, but it is within walking distance of a lot of shops, restaurants, and nightlife geared toward a more hipster crowd. We truly loved our time with Shirley and are so glad to have made a friend that we want to keep in touch with forever!
