Tomio and Bisera have created a very homey retreat in this place! Bisera was VERY helpful when I arrived, explaining different features of the place and even giving me some new ways to navigate San Diego (one of my favorite places). I'd describe the area as a solid working-class neighborhood. I always had plenty of space to park in front of this one-bedroom half-plex. One note: The unit is at the top of a flight of concrete steps, so folks who can't handle steps need to be aware. Bisera told me they have another place with very few steps too (and they're such great hosts you may want to ask about that if you're stair-averse). The bed in this one-bedroom place is very good. The ocean breeze coming in through the windows and the security door is refreshing. Bottom line: It was great.
