Dave's place is in a relatively quiet area just a few minutes' walk from the hustle and bustle of the Gaslamp District. Three Mexican restaurants in the immediate neighborhood offer fresh and tasty food at reasonable prices. If you choose take-out, you can take your food back to Dave's place and enjoy eating on the balcony with a view of nearby Petco Park.
Finding Dave's place was a little tricky initially, but he quickly responded to my questions and helped me get situated. Once I was in, it was all good from then on.
This trip was business for me, but I'll definitely be coming back to SD for a Padres game this season and look forward to the opportunity to stay at Dave's place again.
