We enjoyed our stay here. We are from out of town so we don't know names of local grocery stores or shopping for clothes but as we roamed the area we did find places near by. Our family which consisted of my husband, our baby and I fit comfortably in the studio and we loved the freedom of being able to cook for ourselves since we had access to a full kitchen. The bed was probably my favorite because it was so comfy. Having our own parking spot didn't seem like much but on a busy street it's such a bonus. We didn't have to drive around to find a place to park. The location was amazing. Our plans while we visited were the zoo, the aquarium and the beach. We were close to all three. And not very far from the pier where there's shopping, food, music and so much to see. There was a Keurig in the room for my husband who loves his coffee in the morning and a huge tv for my little one to watch her cartoons. And since we forgot our towels it absolutely saved us money that there were two large beach towels for us to borrow. They absolutely came in handy. I just can't say enough great things about our stay. We enjoyed it so much and can't wait to visit San Diego again.
