This place was perfect for me and my two sons. As far as location, my oldest son had to go five times to the San Diego Conference Center to the ESRI conference. He was able to take the Blue Line with a brief transfer to the Green Line to get there. The H street station is a five minute drive away or you could easily take a bus there. You could do that and avoid parking costs in the downtown core. My little boy and I did that once to go to The New Children's Museum, USS Midway and a Harbour tour downtown. We did have a rental car and this place wasn't far from things like Legoland, SeaWorld, Balboa park or Old Town. Crystal allows parking in the front of the house. Practically everywhere you are charged for parking except here! The neighbourhood has that wonderful Hispanic feel. It is quiet and friendly.
There was so MUCH food in the place that we hardly had to buy a thing. I used the cooler to pack picnic lunches (or a picnic dinner) to eat at the beach or after a long visit to a theme park. There is a full stove with LOTS of pots and pans to use. The place was very clean. Also, we were allowed to use the washer and dryer for the week that we were there.
The Wifi works really well as we all used it. Crystal is a friendly host and answers texts immediately. I left one of my chargers there and Crystal mailed it back to me. It is a great place to stay.
