Alessandro is an excellent host!! He is very friendly, welcoming, very quick in replying back to messages, and also very respectful of privacy. I felt very comfortable during my entire stay, and the apartment itself was fantastic. Awesome location (steps away from Balboa Park and Hillcrest), great natural lighting and views from the windows, and very clean. I also really appreciated how he was able to be flexible with my check-in/check-out time. The private room was also great - very comfortable mattress and pillows, there was a nice desk and chair, and the private bathroom was also very clean. I had a wonderful stay during my visit to San Diego, and I highly recommend staying with Alessandro. I would definitely stay here again!
