Alan is a great host and communicated really well. Not knowing San Diego very well I definitely feel like we got lucky finding this place. This was a great place for my daughter and her friend who were both doing internships in San Diego. The neighborhood felt safe. The property is clean and set up very well. The shared kitchen and laundry was a bonus. There is an office/work space on the 3rd level and a nice outside gathering area in the back yard with shade and sun. The property looks like a large mini apartment building / old style home. The house is large with probably at least 10 rooms and looks to be old Victorian and on a hillside overlooking the city of San Diego. I think the area may be referred to as Golden Hill which is close to Balboa Park and San Diego Zoo. You can find a great neighborhood grocery store, coffee shop, pizza place a little further up B Street on 25th Street. Golden Hill Park (on top of the hill) is good for an early morning or late afternoon walk. The streets are narrow but there was plenty of parking.
