Our stay at Les' was absolutely above and beyond our expectations. From the moment we arrived, Les showed us around the apartment, was genial, and informative. Throughout our stay, Les was always reachable for odds and ends, fresh towels, etc, and went out of his way to make sure we knew about local happenings, like the weekly farmers' market (a couple blocks away), and a monthly art walk that happens monthly in the neighborhood. North Park is a revamped neighborhood that boasts delicious breweries (Modern Times was our fav), some fantastic food (City Taco is a must), great coffee shops, and an artsy hipster vibe. The neighborhood is easily traversed by foot, but so centrally located that it barely takes any time to drive anywhere in the city. Though he lives in the house right next door, we never actually saw him again. Felt as private as a hotel, but with a host who was always checking in via text, to make sure our stay was comfortable. The backyard deck has a privacy fence that makes you feel secluded, even in the middle of town. We had a great time relaxing by the gaslit fire pit in the evenings. The accommodations were spotless. Everything is obviously newly renovated. The double doors that open onto the deck quickly let the evening air into the apartment. The kitchen was fully equipped for a few meals in. The fridge was more than adequate for our week long stay. I cannot say enough about this host. We would most definitely stay here again if we make it back to San Diego. Thank you for a stellar vacation Les!
