We had a great stay at Brian's place while in San Diego. First, it was a 15 minute drive to both the zoo and the aircraft carrier Midway, two must see attractions. Secondly, the condo itself was super clean, spacious, designed with class and simplicity, and located within walking distance of restaurants, beaches, and the main shopping district. That said, the neighborhood itself was quiet and peaceful. Finally, Brian was SUPER helpful and informative about which restaurants to try, where to buy the best groceries, and the pro's and con's of the different beaches. We brought our 9 and 12 year old daughters who enjoyed their own bedroom downstairs. The "grown-up" bedroom, which is upstairs, has its own bathroom, a soft and comfy bed, a fan, and even a deck to watch the sunset from. Our family gives the highest recommendation for Brian's place.
