You should definitely consider Wade's place if you want to explore the Hillcrest area in SD! It was a great location in proximity to a lot of neat places. Only a 10-12 min drive from Old Town, Balboa Park, and Downtown.
The private garage was a great amenity! I kept my car in there for most of the trip and had a peace of mind that it was safe (we Ubered or walked to the places we explored). Forewarning it is a tight space, but if you're a skilled driver you shouldn't have an issue parking there.
If you wanted to stay in, the apartment has a kitchen with all your basic necessities, and Trader Joes was only an 8 min walk! Also, a great coffee shop called Better Buzz was also a 10 min walk from the apartment - awesome place with great coffee and toast!
One aspect I really loved was the backyard area. Very peaceful and beautiful! More beautiful than the pictures.
Overall, it's a very clean and great apartment that is close to great sights and amazing food!
