This is such a cute, well-decorated and spacious home for travel for our small family. It was perfectly clean and quiet despite being one block from a ton of bars and restaurants. The area feels very clean and safe, even late at night. There was a bit of air traffic but I don’t think you can escape that anywhere around downtown, and it quiets down at night. George was very accommodating and even purchased a pack n play for the home when we asked if it was available - talk about above and beyond! The cost was similar to area hotels and had so many more amenities. The patio was perfect - despite being shared, it was large enough that we could see our neighbors but not hear them and there was plenty of furniture to sit separately if you wanted to maintain privacy. It was the perfect place to relax with wine, some olives and cheese purchased at the Italian grocery 3 blocks down. We ate at Ironside for dinner - this is a must if you like seafood, and a 2-block walk from the house. Blocks in this area are very small, so everything is very close. There are lots of coffee shops close by and George provides a keurig with k-cups for coffee at the house. What a nice touch! We toured other areas using the old town trolley, which starts pick up at 10:05 am and runs until 5, with a little Italy stop 2 blocks away. It goes straight to Old town and around the more touristy areas, including seaport village, Coronado, and Balboa Park. That made this the perfect location for our first trip to San Diego! We didn’t use public transit but saw the bus go by frequently in the same area as the old town trolley stop. I highly recommend it, especially if traveling with children!
