Description

Our 1br+loft, 1200 sqft apartment in San Diego's UTC neighborhood is perfect for a single tenant or a couple looking for a summer by the beach. 12 minute drive to the shore, also accessible by bus! Other excellent places to adventure to include the Anza Borrego Desert (2hr), Joshua Tree NP (3hr), Tijuana Mexico (1.5hr), and Big Bear (3h). Washer and dryer in unit, as well as dishwasher, convection oven, and trash compactor. Unit has A/C, but you probably won't use it; there are windows on both sides of the large main room for a wonderful cross-breeze. Complex has a pool, hot tub, grill, and tennis courts, which we do indeed play pickleball on =] Walkable to a few fitness centers, including OrangeTheory, 24hr fitness, and the local JCC. Also walkable to 4 different grocery stores (Vons, Trader Joe's, Ralphs, and Whole Foods), a large park, an upscale outdoor mall with great restaurants, and the Blue Line trolley that goes downtown.

Considerations

Ask about the suitability of the home for young kids

Ask about the availability of a car

Comments: I'm not totally sure if my landlord will accept a pet, but we can try, as I have an ESA dog. Re: small kids, the staircase worries me, but happy to let you be the judge. I will be leaving my car here, and willing to negotiate use!

House Sitting

I may need help while I am away

I may need help with mail and deliveries

I plan to forward all my mail, but it's possible something will come through.

I may need help with plants or garden

I've just started seedlings on the balcony! If you'd like to take care of them / eat what they grow, you're welcome to. If not, I can get another sitter.

Comments: From time to time there are required inspections and things in the building; would be great if you could let maintenance in when required, etc.
