Efrain was extremely communicative throughout the whole process - from booking the reservation up until we left for the airport. He responded to airbnb messages very quickly, answering inquiries about the neighborhood, checking in, checking out; he even messaged during the stay to make sure things were going smoothly. His father, Efrain Sr., greeted us upon arrival, and gave us a quick tour of the place.

Amenities: the fridge had fresh fruit, eggs, cream cheese, condiments, waters and sodas. The kitchen had the basics (oils, salt and pepper), and there was coffee (keurig) and tea. The bathroom included lots of towels, soap, shampoo & conditioner, and a hair dryer. There were extra pillows & blankets, and the TV had a roku, and access to HBO Go. There is an air conditioner in the living room area, and a ceiling fan in the bedroom.

The place was extremely clean and comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood close to the zoo & Balboa Park. There were lots of food options 5-10 minutes away (driving, although it definitely was walkable) in the Hillcrest neighborhood
