The location of this home is ideal vacation. We were very very close to Balboa Park and San Diego zoo. Beaches not far away; Seaworld is about 7 miles away, but the interstate is nearby so it was very convenient and easy getting to SeaWorld. There were a few small diners and restaurants in the area and also a grocery store within walking distance. I found everything to be very convenient, the place is airy, and you have offstreet parking. We enjoyed sitting outside in the backyard or the front porch in the evenings.
