Check in was so easy that it felt like coming home. Max and Katya left so many thoughtful amenities (I forgot my toothbrush but not to worry!) and these really made us feel welcome. The location is great! The block was quiet and we were fifteen minutes or less from the beach, friends we wanted to visit, and great restaurants.
And another thing: San Diego was perfect for a Covid-era getaway. Because they have great weather eleven months out of the year, most restaurants were already taking advantage of outdoor dining. I even saw an outdoor barber shop. And San Diego is a military town and the United States military is taking Covid-19 very seriously, and so are the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who call the city home. At not one moment did I or my 75-year-old traveling companion feel unsafe.
My only regret is that because of Covid, we never got to meet our hosts. Max and Katya sound like really wonderful people and I think I would have enjoyed that.
The next time I'm heading to San Diego, I hope that these accommodations are available.
