I stayed here for a month while I was trying San Diego on as a potential place to live (winner winner! I didn’t want to leave).
First and foremost, Gina is a wonderful host. She was welcoming and friendly. She provides great recommendations as well as quick responses to questions/issues. A fantastic host.
Gina’s apartment rental is THE PERFECT place to stay for an extended period of time, especially if you have a car (there is everything from the beach to the botanic gardens to amazing restaurants and bars within a 15-min or less drive). I didn’t have a car and so much awesome food, coffee, and drinks are within walking distance (5-20 min walk). Plus Balboa Park is a mile walk, if you want to grab some tacos and eat them while laying in the park (which I recommend). The apartment was very clean and comfortable. I cooked my own meals at least 60% of the time and the kitchen had everything that I needed to do so. I worked from the dining table, had plenty of room to lounge in the living room, and the bed is super comfy. Lots of light and a very peaceful stay.
Bottom line: if you want to feel that you are living in San Diego, not just visiting, and be in a terrific location to explore the city, this is an incredible option.
