The location is excellent. So many great spots just steps away. The unit was surprisingly quiet for being in the middle of Little Italy - so we slept great! We had a few minor issues and trouble with the smart lock but Kathy was super responsive and helpful and had a handyman there quickly to fix the lock. If you have a car the parking spot is a big plus as parking in downtown San Diego is difficult - but if you are planning on just exploring the closer areas I would ditch the car and walk and Uber.
