We spent several nights here during unusually chilly San Diego weather, so we appreciated the fireplace to start the day. The unit is well insulated so once the sun was shining it retained the heat and was cozy for the rest of the day. Well laid out apartment with the bedroom tucked away at the back, so very quiet. The neighborhood is quiet but only a short walk to numerous restaurants, shops, and the beach, and easy to Uber if you don’t have a car and want to explore further afield. We went to the museums at Balboa Park one day which we would recommend: something for everyone.
The unit has lots of windows so is light and airy, and 2 decks (one with a distant view of the ocean) which we would have used a lot more if the weather had been more typical. We would definitely try and book Janice’s place again next time we are in the area.
