My husband and I enjoyed a lovely 10-day vacation at the Dollhouse. It was a perfect location. We didn't rent a car, and used Lyft to easily get everywhere. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. We appreciated that it had toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, etc. We visited so many places from this location, such as the zoo, Midway, Balboa Park, La Jolla, and we saw so many amazing sunrises and sunsets while walking on the beach. Mission Beach is just beautiful. ##### Kathleen D.
