This is a great place to stay. It seems parking is a common concern in the reviews, but we didn't have any issues finding a spot on the block in the 5 days we were there, day or night. The neighborhood isn't as walkable as we'd hoped with not much around, but it's so centrally located that we had no frustrations driving to where we wanted to go. We were in La Jolla in 15 minutes and Imperial Beach in 20. Gaslamp, Old Town, Little Italy, and Balboa Park are 5 mins away or so. Yes, the main street nearby has some homeless population, but everyone minds their own business and the street that the listing is on is quiet.
The property has some outside tables for a super peaceful morning coffee next to the citrus trees, cacti and avocado trees.
We were in San Diego because are looking to move soon and wanted to visit the different neighborhoods to potentially rent in. However, after staying here we're even considering buying in this neighborhood if we can find something.
