I was looking for a fairly long term stay (30 days) in a place with a kitchen. I didn't want to spend all my money eating at touristy restaurants. Matt's place was ideal for me. The place was remodeled and updated quite nicely. The kitchen was perfect for my needs, the large bed was comfortable, and there was plenty of closet space. There was a problem with the hot water the first few days, but Patricia, the resident manager, kept me well informed on the problem and it was repaired quickly. There is a reasonably priced washer and drier available for use, and a quaint rooftop deck with a gas grill and plenty of scenery. There were 3 grocery stores within a 4 block radius and a major transit stop about 2 1/2 blocks away. Though there were homeless persons everywhere in San Diego, I never had any trouble or concern. I would definitely stay there again.
