Pictures don’t do it justice. The apartment has a bright, open design with updated kitchen, appliances, decor and lighting. Spotlessly clean, tasteful and relaxing decor. There is also a very inviting outdoor deck and garden leading to a private entrance. Host has thoughtfully compiled an album with information about the living quarters, as well as a very extensive description of the area ~ things to do, restaurants, tips, etc. As stated, there is overhead noise from planes taking off and landing at San Diego Airport, but there seems to be a curfew, and the traffic also seems to get lighter throughout the day. There is a sweet, wonderful porch cat (squeek) who may greet you upon arrival. I would enthusiastically recommend this listing for anyone planning to visit the area!
