We've stayed with Anthony and Tim twice before. The experiences were so lovely and the neighborhood so perfect, that this time we decide to book all three units for a family event.

So a few things you should know:

1) University Heights is one of the best neighborhoods in San Diego. It's pretty, quiet, and has just enough shops and restaurants to keep you satisfied when you don't feel like driving. These apartments are in the best possible location in University Heights, overlooking Trolley Barn Park, and a two minute walk from the commerce area. It's also super easy to get to Balboa Park from the apartments.

2) Anthony and Tim are amazing hosts, who are almost always on hand to help and personalize your experience. They've almost become part of our family. They're both super knowledgeable about local history and flavor.

3) If you've got dogs, this is the place for you. The park's next door, the restaurants almost all have outdoor seating, and Anthony and Tim's love for dogs, you feel like your dogs are a part of your trip, not a burden on you or anyone else. The apartments have a beautiful patio area where you can hang out with your dogs too.

4) If you are scheduling a big family event, say a wedding, bar mitzvah, reunion, or just big group vacation, we'd definitely recommend snatching up all the units.

5) The apartments have basically everything you could ever possibly need on a trip, from pots and pans to ice chest to blenders.... We'd often think, "Wouldn't it be great if we had...." and then suddenly we'd find it in a cupboard.

I could probably go five more bullet points, but really, all I gotta say is that this is a great place to stay and we've been back twice.
