This place is truly a hidden gem. It's rarely available because it is for longer stays and it's a great deal so I was lucky that it was available during my desired timeframe.
The place: The apartment was pretty spacious and it literally had everything I needed(and maybe even more). It has a
cozy outdoor seating area accessible from the bedroom and the living room. Everything worked in the unit. The building has a heated pool gym and leisure/meeting rooms. The apt does not get so much sun light but I was there during the winter and I'm sure it's better during summer
The location: The street the apt building is located is a block from the main entrance of Balboa Park. There are coffee shops, restaurants, stores right outside of this place but it doesn't feel too crowded or touristy. It's just a perfect neighborhood. Apt is close to the flight path but it is far enough that you don't hear the planes
The host: James was an amazing host. I stayed there for 2 months and of course, there were small things that needed his attention, and when I reached out to him he was quick to respond and always willing to solve the issue.
So for me the apt, the location and the host were all perfect and I would stay at this place again and recommend it to anyone traveling to the area.
