We stayed here during Comic Con weekend. This neighborhood (Hillcrest) is quiet but has easy access to other parts of the city including the convention center, making it a great place to stay to take a break from the crowds without being too far from the action. The apartment is a short walk to many good restaurants and to public transportation. The room is very comfortable and the bathroom is clean and modern. John is a great, caring host; communication was easy, as he is very responsive. Thanks John!
