Sam's apartment was absolutely wonderful! It is right in the heart of Little Italy and we were able to get all around downtown San Diego (Gaslamp, convention center, Balboa Park, Petco Park, etc.) on foot.

The apartment is sparkling clean, spacious, and well-stocked. The furniture looks like it's been upgraded since the photos in the post were taken, and the new couch is really comfortable :) There's also lovely artwork that gives the entire place a unique character.

On Saturday mornings, there is a delightful farmer's market that happens right outside his door. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed perusing all the produce and snacks and then relaxing on Sam's balcony with our fresh fruit and view of the San Diego Bay. What a life!

Sam was out on vacation while we were staying there so we didn't get a chance to meet, but he was very responsive and accommodating to all of our requests. If I return to San Diego, I would definitely choose to stay here again.
