With a large, well-equipped kitchen, the studio is super clean and located in a residential neighborhood with a handful of stores or restaurants within walking distance. As I took the train to San Diego, I had hoped to walk but, as there are no pedestrian overpasses crossing I-5 to Mission Bay, I used Uber (about $10 each way) to travel the three miles to and from the more expensive conference hotel. There is some noise from the I-5 freeway (which faces the front window) but I slept well in the comfortable bed. Dave responded quickly to address my questions.
