The 2-bedroom Diamond apartment in PB was perfect for my husband and I for our week's stay in late March 2009. We were joined for the last 2 nights by 2 friends and their daughter and it was fine for that length of time but might have been a bit cramped had they been there the full week. However, for 2 adults and a couple of kids, it would be perfect (really, it was just having only one bathroom that would be an issue for larger groups, and maybe that's no big deal for some).
The apartment is very nicely decorated, great kitchen (with all the necessary dishes, cooking utensils, appliances, etc.), nice beds and bathroom. The little patio is very nice - great place to bbq and sit for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Also, it's nice to have off-street parking because parking is at a premium in PB - the garage is a bit tight but we managed fine with a Kia Sportage. We enjoyed the neighbourhood very much - close enough to PB activities, but not too close as it can get a bit rambunctious at the bars later at night. There were some great restaurants close by and lots of grocery stores to choose from (Trader Joe's, Henry's, Ralph's). The property manager, Patti, was very responsive to our needs and only a phone call away - we only needed her once but she helped us out (re. internet access - she found a solution to the issue) - other than that we didn't have to get in touch with her because everything was in order in the apartment and was just as described on the website.
Enjoyed: Pacific Beach Ale House, Filippi's Pizza & Pasta, great Thai take-out at ra-ka-de-ka around the corner. Also Broken Yolk (a short drive away) had an excellent breakfast.
Owner's Response: These kind folks are one of the reasons I just love this business so much! They've come down from Canada to enjoy our SoCal weather and ambience....please come again soon! Having quality properties helps a lot, too!
In addition to our state-side guests, we're seeing so many travelers from around the world this year. Along with our Canadian friends, we're greeting many families from the U.K., Australia, Sweden, The Netherlands, Spain, Germany and Ireland. Come one, come all!
