I highly recommend this place on your next visit to San Diego. It was one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at and would definitely come back. Not only is it close to many attractions, like San Diego Zoo, and Sea World, but it was super clean and had all the amenities we needed to make our stay the most comfortable. There is an outdoor shower, which is new, but the weather was too cold (January) for us to use it. The host was amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. She was responsive and attentive, providing helpful recommendations for local attractions and dining options. Plenty of parking space for our 3 cars. Overall, If I could leave more than 5 stars I would.
