About the host
Hosted by Lyndsey
I was born and raised in Wisconsin. I love to travel. I currently work as a nurse in San Diego. I fell in love visiting San Diego and decided to leave the seasons behind. I host our apartment in the city we love.
Why they chose this property
It is centrally located. The apartment is close to the hospitals and Balboa Park.
What makes this property unique
I love the quiet neighborhood but still within walking distance to a very hip neighborhood with good restaurants and trendy shops.
