Mario's place is conveniently situated just minutes from a freeway entrance for quick access many of the popular SD haunts we wanted to check out... Balboa Park, Gaslamp, Liberty Station, Little Italy... even Coronado Beach and Kearny Mesa was never more than a 15 minute drive! Proximity to the airport too, was a plus! My group especially appreciated that our hosts, Mario and Maria, checked in on us often through the Airbnb msging app. They also were kind enough to leave some chilled water bottles, chocolates, and coffee fixings for us in the room as well. Definitely would not hesitate to stay with them again in the future!
