Liked: Cleanliness
Host was very attentive and answering questions quickly. The apartment was clean and had everything needed for a multi day stay. It’s a very relaxing place and enough space to stretch out or to have some privacy. I would say here again if I have a need for a multi day trip back to San Diego.. Thank you for a great experience.
