Great place to stay as a base to explore downtown SD: Gas Lamp/ Little Italy/ Balboa Park/ Embrocardo sea front (USS Midway etc) all easily walked (even when it's hot). The Studio's comfy and homely with capable stove/ fridge etc for those that want to cook. It did get warm but the fans provided did their job well. Parking: if you can get it out the front, great. Otherwise, you may have to park a block away & walk 2 mins back. It wasn't an issue, more of a challenge and all areas were safe & secure. Driving from here was easy to access also. Loved it.
