Stacey was a personable host with a good balance of conversational and independent, so we could chat for a while and I also felt comfortable being on my own schedule exploring. Her towels are super fluffy! The bed was comfy and came with a couple different pillow and blanket options to try. The room has great light and mirrors, so you won't walk out looking unexpectedly silly; it's a bit stuffy, but the rest of the apartment gets great breezes, and why are you staying in your room on vacation anyway?? I rented a bike from Stay Classy for a couple days to avoid having to deal with a car or wallet-gouging rent-a-scooters, and Stacey offered a bonus temporary locked bike storage spot in the building's laundry room!
This apartment is a great home base for adventuring, with lots to explore within a 20-minute walk and—if you're ambitions on San Diego cliffs—a 20-minite bike ride. I got to explore Hillcrest, Chicano Park, Little Italy, Old Town, Ocean Beach, Balboa Park, Downtown, and a bunch of nearby canyons, all on foot and two wheels, and then got to come "home" to a hot shower and flop on a nice bed :)
