Tomio responded quickly to our requests for information. A friend of his was there to greet us with the keys, and showed us around the apartment.
The apartment is spacious and functional.
It is, however, a long way away by bus and trolley to core parts of San Diego, and to the airport. The local bus (No. 25) does not run on holidays and weekends. It is a 25 minute walk to the nearby bus (No. 44) which takes one to the Old Town trolley centre.
Staying there does not work well if one does not have a car.
