Planning a vacation but not sure where to go? Here’s why you should give California’s second largest city, San Diego, a shot. From stunning beaches perfect for sunbathing to a bustling nightlife perfect for letting your hair loose, San Diego offers a myriad of fun. Furthermore, if you’re a foodie, San Diego will tantalize your taste buds with a wide variety of scrumptious food. To top it off, San Diego enjoys lovely weather all year round.

Looking for cheap apartments to rent is also often a tedious task, requiring the dedication of a full-time researcher!
