My guest & I loved the contemporary design of the space, we felt like we could live there.
We didn’t get to meet our hostess, but I appreciated Nicole responding in a timely manner when I had questions and she was accommodating when I had a few requests.
I walked around the neighborhood alone during the day and at night, and I felt fairly safe. I even rented one of the mopeds that requires an app on your phone to get back home. That was a great benefit!
I always find yummy places to eat in SD, this was the first time I got to visit Hillcrest.
I discovered Bread & Cie, which offered a decent walk and I recommend the French toast panini. I also recommend Tajima ramen.
The only challenges I had was 1. parking 1 car on the street (my guest & I had 2 cars total), because space is limited, & parking close by is important to me, I felt I couldn’t come and go freely with the car. I opted to walk, rent mopeds and ride with my guest when she was around.
2. I’m dealing with side effects of meds that affect my muscles and joints, so lifting heavy luggage up/down the stairs was difficult. If you’re strong, it won’t be a problem.
Luckily a helper was there upon check-in to assist!
Overall, had a great visit to wonderful San Diego, and we enjoyed our stay.
