Al's place is in a great location. It's a very short walk to the bay or beach. The apartment is exactly as advertised. It's a perfect size for a couple or a small family. There are a good number of extra amenities that you do not typically get with a vacation rental including bikes, a bbq, a nice patio, adequately sized parking space and laundry in the unit. Al was a pleasure to deal with and he was very accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay at his rental again on future trips to San Diego.
