We arrived at this beautiful and welcoming residence on March 12 just the day before US borders closed to flights from Europe. We've been in this residence for 80 days while the Covid-19 pandemic increased to the numbers no one could imagine. The lockdown in California was established soon after. However, instead of hell we have been like in heaven.
First of all the cottage is very well located in South Park: all the facilities are very close: food shops, restaurants, public transportation, clothing stores, laundry and especially Balboa Park. The price is more than reasonable. On the other hand the apartment is fantastic: comfortable, well furnished, cozzy and clean. It also has a beautiful outdoor area with garden, food table and sunbathing and relaxing areas. Silence is absolute.
But above all we have to highlight Joy our hostess (and her family). Joy is one of the most loving and kind people we have found in our travel life. It constantly cares about your well-being, comfort and helps you in all your needs. She has also been an invaluable guide in San Diego and has allowed us to know sites we would never have known without her. Her daughter (and her partner) are also persons of exceptional value and have helped us in everything.
In summary, at SD there may be equal apartments on airbnb, but not better than the Joy´s one.
