Tomio and his galpal were excellent hosts. We had a great time in San Diego, and although the original listing was unavailable, Tomio provided another location that was up the block from the original space, and had all the original amenities and then some.
The apartment was clean, the neighborhood is very quiet, and all the major San Diego sites/beaches are about a 15 minute drive away. Shopping, restaurants, and access to highways were nearby. Despite most of San Diego being under a flight path, we heard nary a plane go by, and slept soundly, windows wide open, at night.
Tomio checked in via texting, but gave us our privacy, we kept busy and didn't see him much after check-in. But, he lives right up the street and seemed like he would be amenable to more involvement if we needed him.
I would def rent a car or have transportation if you plan to stay here and see San Diego as it's not in the heart of the city or walkable to the major beaches.
Overall, if you're looking for a quieter neighborhood with easy driving access to all the attractions, this location fits the bill and Tomio makes and excellent host.
