Fumie was a great host. She was very flexible with check-in/check-out times, which I'm always very appreciative of when traveling. The rental was laid out exactly how she described it, so no surprises with anything. The bedrooms and master bathroom were a lot bigger than I expected them to be, which helped alleviate the absence of air conditioning. There were more than enough toiletries, blankets, and towels for our group of 5 that stayed there. We had a hard time deciding between places to eat and Fumie's guidebook definitely helped us out with that (Phil's bbq was as good as she said it was!). The only complaint was the heat, but the ceiling fans and extra box fan definitely helped.

As for location, the apartment was conveniently located near all our places of interest. Beaches, downtown, restaurants, and freeways were all a close Uber or drive away. The only downside was that it was very difficult finding parking late at night. I would recommend taking a taxi/Uber if you are planning to be back after 10pm - we had to park pretty far down the main street one night and it was quite a hike!

Overall the place exceeded expectations. It was my first time in San Diego and Fumie did a great job prepping the place the place for us. If you need to ask her anything she is quick with her replies. I would definitely stay here again!
