Doug’s place was very convenient to the beach and in relatively good shape although not luxury as described in the listing but nice. However, although many reviewers said it was quiet, during our stay, this unit was directly in the flight path for San Diego airport. Starting at 6 am until around 10:40 pm sometimes as often as every 30 seconds, their were flights going by overhead. Mea culpa as this was our first time to San Diego but we felt like we couldn’t really enjoy the patio or open the windows due to noise.
