JoAnn was a warm host and immediately made me feel at home in her home! She provided some information about the neighborhood and several of her favorite spots around the city. The house was a nice sanctuary and conveniently located for my wedding-related jaunts to Coronado as well as very accessible to much of downtown with a brief walk. You do walk through the East Village, which has a significant homeless population, to get to Gaslamp and other areas of downtown...but don't let that deter you in the least from getting out and exploring! Uber was a quick and easy way to get to further destinations...and seemed very affordable in San Diego at large.
