Tom and Al's place is fantastic. Check in couldn't have been easier and as soon as you walk up the stairs you're hit with a breathtaking view of downtown San Diego, the Coronado Bridge and even a peak of Balboa Tower over at the Prado. The apartment is more spacious than the pics make it out to be and the air conditioning unit worked great. The neighborhood was a great surprise, local coffee shops (Dark Horse, Influx, etc.), an Ice Cream shop (Mutual Friend) and tasty Mexican (Humberto's) were all just a few steps from the apartment. Freeway access from the apartment was also great, making a visit to La Jolla, Ocean Beach or Coronado Island never more than a 10-20 drive. Lastly Al was just the sweetest host you could ask for, giving us some neighborhood tips, telling us about the onsite laundry and introducing us to the sweet kitties that live on the property.
