My family and I plus a friend of my daughter - a total of five adults of 20, 23, 23, 49 and 56 years - spend two two weeks at Cortez Hill Penthouse over Christmas 2015. The apartment was super for us . There was the space we needed and the beds in the bedrooms were close to being as good as the ones we have at home in Denmark.

The apartment is located in the city and therefore, there is obviously not quietly as if we had stayed in the countryside. That we were quite serene with. The planes from the San Diego Airport fly low over the property but it was not really something we noticed except when we were outside.
That said, the neighborhood was cozy, safe and very quiet.

Gary is quick on the trigger, if you should need his assistance. It was clear to us, as there jumped a hedge, but it was done in five minutes and then we could continue cooking.
Although the kitchen is not fully equipped to Danish standards so we had no problems to make breakfast for ourselves every day and a Danish Christmas dinner on December 24.

We loved the apartment's central location in San Diego, and have only positive things to say about our stay in Cortez Hill Penthouse.
