Came to the San Diego area for a 50th HS reunion. Did not want to stay near the city because of pricing and it being the Holiday weekend, we knew the traffic would be horrendous. This apartment was in the quaint town of Alpine. This is about 33 miles from downtown. The mountains and views were spectacular, quiet and relaxing. Our host, Tim, suggested a mini road trip..Sunrise Hwy, Kwaaymii Point, Cleveland National Forest, the town of Julien and Lake Cuyamaca. Well worth it. Also near numerous casinos. The apartment was perfect. Beautifully decorated. Comfortable bedding, well appointed kitchen. There is nothing I would change.We have stayed in many VRBO's and this was by far one of the best.
