The property was in an excellent location. Within blocks of 30th Avenue which has a vibrant and hip nightlife and excellent restaurants and eateries. Very close walk to Balboa Park and all that has to offer with museums and the San Diego Zoo. The propert itself was incredible! Lush landscaping made for cool days and relaxing nights. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking. The location was very quiet. I would highly recommend the place and Kent.

This apartment is a very special place. You feel when you walk through the gate. The breezy windows and lush views made us feel like we were on a tropical vacation. We enjoyed grilling on the private patio and also dining on the balcony. The firm bed was super comfortable, and we got great sleep. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. Parking was never a problem. The location is close to the zoo and downtown. Kent is a wonderful host. It is clear that the house is loved and is more than just an investment to him. You can feel the love and pride all around you as you enjoy this lovely home.

Our experience was exceptional from beginning to end. The host warmly welcomed us, gave us a fascinating tour of his historic property, and answered our texts promptly. Sitting on the private deck off the living room made us feel as though we were in a beautiful, tropical hideaway. Balboa Park and all it has to offer was just steps away in this lovely neighborhood.
