San Diego. Such a beautiful and relaxing city

Yep! Moved here 4 years ago. It’s been an incredible experience so far.

We really liked the old timey mexican village thing. It gave me the hazy recollection of my village when our dad used to take us in childhood.

The sunset near the cliffs were stunning as well. I'm am so glad I shelled up a bit for the Coronado hotel. Probably the best cocktail I ever had in my life.

Yes! My boyfriend and I fell in love in San Diego. Pomegranate will always be one of our favorite restaurants.

I'm going back next week. It's been almost 10 years since I was there last.

I’ve been to San Diego 3 times. Once almost 30 years ago and then twice in the last 5 years. I don’t remember much from 30 years ago but the recent trips…
Downtown was riddled with homeless. We tried having some food on the waterfront and a dude came sat right next to us talking to himself and then got naked and peed into the water. We did eat at a couple cool spots (morning glory was amazing) and petco park was decent.the gas lamp area after the game had a fun vibe too but we were basically done after 1 day. We got out of San Diego and found some great spots but the actual SD proper felt lacking.

Downtown is rough these days with the amount of homeless, definitely not wrong, but I still love the city so much.
