The location cannot be beat. Right down Grand Ave, there are so many great places to eat (Polite Provisions, Fortunate Sons, An's Ice Cream, powerhouse pizza, and the other way is like Kura Sushi, Dumpling Inn, Mochinut within 10 minutes-ish). It's close to the highway (I-5) which is ten minutes-ish away from Old Town, Mission Beach, Dog Beach, and not much further...downtown San Diego or Solano Beach - all good places. The apartment was clean and accepting of our dog. The parking in the back was very convenient because during the holiday weekend, it was pretty busy where we couldn't find street parking. The communication was great for check-in, check-out and dealing with any questions or issues you might have. Thank you for having us! We will want to visit again soon!
