Review of our recent vacation accommodation at 99 STEPS 2, where Linda was our hostess.
99 STEPS 2 is situated about 99 steps from the lovely vibrant beach and about 99 steps to the beautiful bay. Overall our accommodation in the 1- bedroomed, charming, and clean apartment was comfortable. We rented the apartment for 17 days, from 22nd June- 14th July, during the San Diago Summer holidays. The front of the apartment overlooks the Pacific Beach main road which was very busy with traffic and holiday makers. Linda installed a new air-conditioner in the bedroom which was great for cooling the room. The apartment is situated upstairs so the lounge became extremely hot in the afternoons, but the fan cooled the living area slightly. The kitchen was well equipped with most items that we required and cleaning detergents were provided. We used the gas stove for cooking and were permitted to use the barbeque downstairs. We took our washing to the laundrette which was about a block down the road. The nearest supermarket was Ralphs, which was about 3 blocks away. The bus stop was conveniently situated near the apartment and we frequently used the buses to meet our family and link up with trolleys and other buses.
Linda is a friendly host who kept in contact with us before we arrived and answered many questions. She also provided a few useful maps and tourist magazines. Some board and card games were provided which kept us entertained one evening. She also provided 2 beach chairs, mats and towels which were fabulous on the beaches. Linda came to the apartments to clean the surrounding area and barbeque patio downstairs occasionally. Our accommodation at 99 STEPS 2 made our American dream holiday special and we were able to spend time with our daughter and husband who recently immigrated to San Diego from South Africa.
Many thanks for your wonderful hospitality Linda.
