HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Location is awesome. There are great coffee shops, restaurants, cafes, bars, liquor stores, and corner markets within hilly walking distance. (Check out the Krisp market up the street for grocery essentials and a good beer, wine, and liquor selection) I felt very safe as a woman staying alone in this Golden Hills upstairs apartment. It is a beautiful, residential area. I greatly appreciated the security screen doors--the entrance to the apartment and the entrance to the little balcony are a north/south direction, and create great airflow to enjoy those San Diego breezes, without sacrificing safety. The mattress, bedding, and pillows were fresh and dreamy after a long day flying and a day spent exploring the surrounding neighborhood. Quick, hot water in the sink and in the small shower was refreshing to end a busy day. Do not expect cold, modern, sterile, up to date finishes here--this older building presents you with warmth, charm, and character. Coffee on the small balcony overlooking the street is relaxing, especially with the beauty of the surrounding flora, trees, and shrubs, and the intoxicating whiffs of jasmine. Plenty of start up amenities, to include Method brand soaps, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Two ice cube trays in the freezer provided the ice that I am addicted to. Do not hesitate to stay a few nights in this gem.
