The location was great for my purposes: attending conference and sight seeing. There are restaurants, a 7-11, and coffee shops within walking distance. The neighborhood felt safe; lots of people walking dogs in the am. I was able to take Lift vehicles to the conference center every morning/ evening without difficulty; took about 15 minutes. We also learned to take some of the buses that run pretty close to the house and via bus were able to get to Gas Lamp district, to Balboa park, to Little Italy, and even La Jolla though that took over an hour by bus. (Buses work best with the Pronto App- $2 per ride). For us this was an adventure; some might just prefer taking a Uber or Lift vehicle to La Jolla which takes less than 30 minutes. (We did that too.) We most appreciated Jane's quick and helpful responses when I ended up with a medical emergency while visiting San Diego. She was so helpful and worked with us and fortunately we were able to stay an extra day. Would highly recommend!
