Amir is a thoughtful host who responds quickly to requests. He was eager to share local favorites and even mapped out the time it would take to walk to each location-which was super helpful! The location of this flat cannot be beat. We walked to coffee shops, Balboa park, dinner spots, etc. You can easily explore other neighborhoods with a short Uber/car ride as well. I also enjoyed reading on the patio in the beautiful sunshine while my meal baked in the oven. Kitchen appliances were all new and worked wonderfully. The only areas for improvement would be stronger wi-fi connection and although the street is very quiet, we did hear the downstairs guests quite loudly our first night. Other than that, we had a terrific stay and Amir is a wonderful host!
