The check in was easy with clear instructions. The apartment under the main home has a private entrance and the location is an easy walk into the heart of Hillcrest. The unit is spacious with a nice sized bathroom and amazing rain shower head. It was nice to have a bunch of Keurig pods for us to have coffee during our full stay. The hosts also have us a lot of restaurant and bar recommendations. I used to live in San Diego and really enjoyed this experience would definitely stay again!
