We chose Brandon's place for a pandemic-friendly getaway with our two pugs. He was very communicative and accommodating of our furry guests. The apartment is in a pretty unassuming complex, but the inside is modern and thoughtfully furnished to make the most of a compact space. The included parking spot is a rare find and the portable AC unit was greatly appreciated during the warm afternoons. We loved being able to comfortably enjoy local takeout knowing we had kitchen space to prep anything. There are a few great restaurants, a convenience store, and a coffee shop all within walking distance if you want to stay close by, otherwise everything else you'd want seemed to be a 20 minute or less drive away. As some others have mentioned in previous reviews, the traffic noise can definitely get a little excessive, but it's to be expected along a busy road. We found that it died down towards the evening and it really didn't bother us when it came to sleeping. Just be sure to bring earplugs if you're sensitive to that. All in all, this is a great find for a San Diego visit!
