Oh man, you just HAVE to see this place. You pull off the road, drive behind a building, up a long narrow alley, past a few other homes, until you get to the magical retreat in the back. The apartment has so many artsy touches EVERYWHERE, some hidden, most not. The mattress was comfy. We were never more than 12 miles from anything, only half a mile from the airport, but no more air traffic noise than you would hear anywhere else in San Diego. This was a great home base from which to explore. Would love to come back.
