Lidia and Yonas are fantastic hosts!! Their apartment was beyond perfect for my three month stay while on a travel nursing assignment, and became my home away from home. From the moment I booked, communication was prompt and they provided me with detailed instructions for check-in. Yonas was even there to greet me upon my arrival, and showed me around the complex. He also helped with directions to neighborhood restaurants, grocery stores (Trader Joe's and Ralph's), Target, the bus stop, and the hospital I was working, which were all less than a miles walk. Since I did not bring my car, the bus stop was vital for me getting around the city, and was a quick walk to the Park Blvd and University Ave bus stops (3 minutes) from the apartment. I was a mile from many large hospitals in the Hillcrest area, which made amazing morning walks into work! After a full day's work, I would pick the bus up at night, or Uber, which was around $8 for the Uber. (Get a 30 day Compass card if you are going to ride public transit a lot - it is well worth the $72!) The apartment is exactly as it looks in the photos, is well kept, and clean. While staying, there were outside renovations taking place, and there are now very nice shrubs in the built-in planters on the patio to help provide more privacy. I loved having a large outdoor space, and my own washer and dryer, which is also in a closet on the patio. There is an assigned parking space as well, which is a huge bonus for the area! Balboa Park is a short drive or bus ride, and is a great place to walk around. The beach was one of my favorite locations, which I frequented on my days off. The neighborhood was great, and I felt safe, even at night walking back from the bus stop. I met a few of the neighbors, and they were all very nice and welcoming. Lidia and Yonas do not live on property, but they are always a text away, and quick to respond to anything you may need! I highly recommend Lidia and Yonas's space - you will not regret it!
