Angela's place was exactly as described, and well represented in the photos. It's in a great location - 15m to Coronado, 10m to Balboa Park, 25m to La Jolla, 15m to Mission Beach, and has loads of great dining/drinking/takeaway options nearby on 30th Street (in particular the Ramen at Underbelly was excellent!). And the start of Balboa Park is only a short walk away if you want to burn off some of those calories, or kick a ball around with your kids.
The apartment is easy to find, and having it's own parking space was helpful (might be a little tight to get into if you have a big SUV, but I suspect on street parking would be easy enough if needed). It had all the appliances you could want if you want to cook for yourself, and there's a supermarket (Vonn's) less than a mile away as well. The apartment has clearly been updated significantly, and stylishly done as the photos suggest, with Roku TVs in the living area plus each bedroom. The fact it has two king beds meant our two young argumentative kids were able to share a bed without getting into a fight over space, which was a bonus! For similar reasons, having two bathrooms was helpful as well.
The location felt safe, and despite being close to the bars etc., it was also quiet. We also barely heard anything from the other apartments in the same building.
Overall this was pretty much what we were looking for and lived up to expectations - great location, and a clean, stylish and well appointed apartment with plenty of space. In addition, Angela was quick to respond to any questions.
Many thanks Angela for hosting us!
