I rented the condo for the whole month of August. In brief, I couldn’t have been more delighted with the experience. The place is spacious, well laid out, and the two decks are large and get terrific breezes. The placement of the bedrooms, on opposite ends of the apartment, affords lots of privacy,
and the place is nicely furnished, with a large dining table and one of the most comfortable L-shaped sofas I’ve ever encountered and perfect as an extra bed for two people (one on the L and one on the straight section). There’s lots more to like about the condo — very nice building, indoor garage, elevator, and so on — but the really great part is its location. It’s smack dab in the middle of San Diego, bordering directly on Balboa Park. Because I was there to learn about San Diego and suss out whether I’d like to live there permanently, I was truly appreciative of the apartment’s central location; 13 minutes to Coronado Beach, 5 minutes to Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s in Hillcrest, and just 20 minutes to Del Mar, the most amazing beach in California. I really loved the place; actually, I wish I could’ve stayed there for another month or two. And special thanks to Rich, the owner, for his patience and sweetness; settling into a new place always involves some confusion, but Rich was always available quickly by phone to set things straight, and then always followed up to make sure the issue had been resolved completely. Thanks for a great month, Rich. I’m your biggest fan.
