We had a great time at Tomio's place. It was exactly as described and more. We were there for almost a week at a conference which was held at the San Diego Convention Center. Tomio was helpful with hints about navigating the city and especially about taking public transportation to the convention center to save money and time. It is a convenient 10 minute drive to the Old Town Trolley stop and then a quick 10 minute ride to the convention center. The $5.00 per day trolley fare was far less than on-site parking at the center and there was rarely a time when we couldn't find convenient parking at the station. Thanks to Tomio's help, we were able to figure it our really easily.
We always had a parking space in front of the house on the street so no worries with bringing a car.
I was especially happy to have a full kitchen and especially happy to have a regular size refrigerator in order to take full advantage of the kitchen.
The place is in a good neighborhood for walking and the porch is delightful early in the morning for coffee and into the evening to watch to sunset.
For our needs, it was good to have a car but also great to be in a safe and fun neighborhood where we could get restful sleep, nutritious food and still have access to the whole city.
I would not hesitate to check this place first for availability if I need to return to San Diego.
