James' place was a very comfortable and stylish respite for me and my brother while visiting family during the Thanksgiving holiday - and James was wonderfully responsive for questions. We made good use of the excellent sofa, large television, and multiple streaming services! The bedrooms were also comfortable, and the beds themselves were plush, but supportive - which is to my liking, but may not be just right for those who need a very firm foundation. We had everything we needed for our stay throughout (note: there's a Keurig, so bring your favorite K-Cups). It's centrally located and only a few minutes away from all the San Diego has to offer - including excellent food.
Other Notes:
1) the apartment is up a flight of outside stairs (12 steps), so may or may not be for you.
2) It is also located directly alongside a major freeway and while closed windows block most of the noise, there's a leftover ambient white noise that I didn't mind at all. Especially for sleeping.
3) It's within hearing distance of a firing range that I first mistook for celebratory firecrackers, but I only heard it once.
4) the final approach to find the parking spot is down a very short semi-paved incline -- FYI it doesn't quite match up with digital GPS mapping directions, but it's not far off!
