My friends and I had an amazing time at Tony's place! It was even lovelier than it looks in the pictures. I've been to San Diego many times but had never been in this particular neighborhood, and it was perfect. We loved walking to a different coffee shop each morning, walking to interesting shops and restaurants, and simply enjoying the apartment itself. I couldn't get enough of the open windows and lovely view of the park, we slept with windows open and cool breezes wafting in. Tony was a wonderful host, very friendly and helpful. He made us feel at home right away, and my dog-loving friends immediately bonded with him over his chihuahuas. We all agreed that our trip was a lovely blend of touristy sightseeing (beach, shopping, Balboa park, etc) and low-key relaxing, and Tony's place was the perfect spot to rest between our adventures. I especially loved the shared patio space on the first floor - heaven!

We really had only one minor complaint that can't really be helped - the driveway was a bit challenging to navigate and scraped the underside of my car a bit on our way in and out, no matter how careful we were. That said, we were so very glad to have off-the-street parking as street parking was always crowded.

Overall, I recommend wholeheartedly the apartment, host, and neighborhood. I miss it already!
