If you are traveling with children this place is for you! The garage access, keyless entry with code were a breeze and made having a rental car so easy! 10 minutes from the airport, 10-15 from the zoo, harbor island, Coronado. The location of this townhouse is closer to East Village, 3-4 blocks walking to Gas Lamp, which was safe and easy to do. We walked to several bars in gas lamp to meet friends and hopped in the car each morning to do family friendly activities. I was able to run each morning alone, without feeling unsafe- 1.1 miles to the convention center, running through gas lamp and passing petco park. Unlike other locations that said you would deal with homeless populations outside the place, this was a little removed. The homeless population is unfortunately very large in San Diego, however we did not encounter any homeless individuals on the block of this location which made traveling with children a little easier.
We traveled with our 4 and 2 year old and my parents. There is a downstairs bedroom with a bathroom with a shower, full kitchen on the second level which was great! We purchased breakfast groceries and were able to eat in and pack lunches for daytime activities. The living room has a large sectional we could all sit and watch a movie at the end of the day. The upstairs bedroom was perfect for a small family - the girls slept on the futon and us in the bed in the same room. I was concerned about noise- but there is a garage door to the loft that drown out all the noise from downstairs.
This place is a true gem! We got so lucky. If we come back to San Diego, we will return! Haley was very responsive, the place was spotless and the bathrooms were perfect for 4 adults getting ready all at once. We were thrilled with our stay! Highly recommend this location.
