We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this clean, well appointed home. The location is perfect for exploring the Gaslamp, East Village, walks to the harbor/Embarcadero, ferry to Coronado, dinners in Little Italy and picnics in Balboa Park....all by walking. The excellent, safe city transportation system has several stations within a 5-10 minute walk to enable you to explore the greater San Diego area. Although we did not require any assistance, the owners, in addition to maintaining and stocking their home nicely for guests are very cordial and available to help ensure a positive experience. The building itself is well maintained and the public pool/garden/bbq area is cleaned at least once if not twice daily. There is a complete grocery store several blocks away to enable you to eat at home as much or as little as you desire. We recommend the Lincoln Room for happy hour (drinks and menu),friendly staff and evening music, Patrick II's for genuine, live blues acts, the Rockin' Baja Lobster for $2 taco night. We didn't have a bad experience at any of the many restaurants and bars available to enjoy downtown.

Don't let this one get away. I love it - Perfect location in the Gaslamp section.
Step out the door to a choice of restaurants - dine outside and watch the world go by. The location is the best. Walk to Ralphs for groceries – Horton’s plaza, movie theatres. Trolley is close by as well as the convention center. The condo is clean and oh so comfortable. The complex is immaculate. Parking space included under the building directly in front of the elevator. The court yard off the patio is perfect. Grills for cooking are provided, pool for swimming. Did I mention Ghirardelli ice cream fountain is steps away - I can't say enough about the condo other than I wish it was mine!

Thank you
Pam

While planning a trip to a convention in San Diego, we were so fortunate to find this sweet condo! Surprisingly it was much cheaper than a hotel and in the most perfect location. Surrounded by amazing restaurants and shopping, this condo could not have been more perfect for our trip. After a long day in trainings, it was great to be able to come home to a cozy condo that is clean and safe. The owners were great and very easy to work with. Overall I would highly recommend this condo, or any other vacation rental advertised by these owners! I look forward to coming back soon!
