We've just spent a week in San Diego and stayed in Al's apartment. We had a great time! The neighborhood is nice and safe. The apartment is clean and comfortable, perfect for a family of 3 or 4. Here're a few highlights I'd like to call out, which may be helpful for other people.
- Private parking space, we found it really convenient! We don't have to worry about finding street parking when we came back late at night. The space is a little tight, but not hard at all if you can back in. We rented a compact size this time, but I feel it should be able to fit a mid size or full size without an issue.
- Sofa bed, very comfortable. It's a king-size one and even more comfortable than the queen bed in the bedroom in my opinion. It could fit 2 adults and 1 kid without a problem.
- There're plenty of towels and pillows in the closet.
- The apartment is decorated with mirrors everywhere. Like it! There're lots of windows as well.
- There's a Mission Market a few blocks away from the apartment, which opens till 11pm or midnight (in summer). Very convenient!
- Sara's Mexican Food, a few blocks away, if you like Mexican food
- Mizu on W Mission Bay Dr, if you like Japanese and Korean food, like their sushi, beers, tofu soup, Korean rice soup

We'd definitely like to come back and stay in Al's apartment next time.
