Al is an absolutely amazing host, and his Casitas was the perfect place to unwind, relax, and recharge after a long day in San Diego.
Every morning we were greeted with the beautiful sunshine and a lush canyon view in a very quiet neighborhood. The pictures in the listing look amazing, but it was even better in person. Our place was also decorated with fresh flowers, which is a nice personal touch.
The location is just a 10-15 minute drive away from the San Diego Zoo, Little Italy, and Pacific Beach, which is great when you're trying to visit as much of San Diego as you can in a short amount of time.
Al offered us many amenities that we didn't even think of bringing for our trip that made our vacation more relaxing, such as piles of fresh towels, shampoos/conditioner, and even beach equipment. Great Wi-Fi, DirectTV, and a mini fridge with a few beers are also great conveniences to come back to when you're out on vacation.
He also has loads of experience about San Diego, and we appreciated the insights he gave us about the area and suggestions for our trip.
