The apartment was a great home away from home and Tony was a great host. He made sure we had everything we needed, was not obtrusive, and even gave us some laundry detergent when we realized we needed to do laundry. It was great having a kitchen and a washer and dryer. It was like staying at grandma's or a friend's place when they are out. Being minutes away from the freeway and downtown and Balboa Park was also great. If you need a sterile room with furniture from a Macy's furniture display, this is not the place for you. However, if you want a clean, cozy, and comfortable base for your visit to SD, this is it.
