John's apartment is in a great location. It's very close to pacific beach and mission beach, minutes away from local restaurants and stores, and the freeway. The apartment is in a gated community with friendly neighbors. He offers a private parking space, but make sure your car is compact. We drive a truck and there was no way it was going to fit. There is plenty of street parking, but if you plan on being out during the day, you'll be parking down the street a bit. The apartment is filled with fun reads, records and eclectic decor. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for our stay, but no microwave. There is a French press, but I didn't see a coffee maker or kuerig. The bed is SUPER soft and was comfy for me, but a bit too soft for my boyfriend. I wish there was a drawer or closet space where we could unpack our clothing, but after looking around a bit it felt like we were invading his private space, so just opted to live out of our suitcases. John was very quick to respond to my messages and had great suggestions! I would highly recommend!
