Living on Quartz

The living space in this San Diego condo offers breathing space without feeling bare – but the real highlight is what awaits you outside this home. A shared terrace and sky deck give you somewhere to sit with the sunshine – morning coffee or evening drinks, both work well. Meanwhile, a resort-style pool, spa, fire pit, and a 24-hour gym with city views mean there's rarely a reason to go far. When you're ready to move, the Gaslamp Quarter's restaurants and nightlife are around four minutes' walk, Balboa Park is a fourteen-minute drive, and Coronado Beach's white sands are reachable in twenty-three.

Home truths:
* The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.
* Your host operates several homes here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
* You'll have uncovered off-street parking here, so bear in mind your car will be exposed to the elements.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pools, hot tub, fitness centre, pickleball courts, garden, games room, and co-working spaces here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
