We had a great time! Traveling with a baby, we appreciated that for the price of a hotel room, we could rent Shawn’s place with a kitchen, laundry, parking (extra, but we’ll worth it), and separate rooms so we could stay up while the baby sleeps. The apartment is walking distance from restaurants, a grocery store, a pharmacy… all the routine things you might want without having to get in the car. This was perfect for our family. Of course, local attractions like balboa park and its museums/zoo, the ships, beaches and tidepools, and Coronado were all within 10-20 minutes driving. Proximity is especially important with a baby who is only awake for a few hours at a time and who generally isn’t a fan of car rides, so this location worked out well for our family.
